If someone with dissociative identity disorder accepts Jesus, do all the personalities get saved?

Question

Or just the one that accepts Jesus?

Answer 1

Well if the person has any disorder they can be free in Christ because I have witnessed a person come to know Christ from a mental hospital. I have also met a women who was confirmed as having mental illness and she was healed by the grace of God.

God would save the person right where they are if they truly come to him or her. I have met people who have suffered with illnesses of sorts that have been healed. I believe that God would meet the person right where they are when it comes to salvation. He accepts the person as they are in the state that they are in.

When I came to God I had some issues that needed to be dealt with and he set me free from a number of things. A Christian can be oppressed spiritually and I was oppressed at the time. I still have some issues that I am dealing with because God it's all in God's perfect timing.

I also once kept a diary and wrote down things about myself that I noticed that really put people off about my personality. I really wanted to see if Jesus would really change my life and he did because I am not the person that I was back in 1991.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Very good question. :-)

Answer 2

Just the one that accepts Jesus.
It is entirely possible for every personality to have a different belief/religion.
I know someone who is DID and the "core person" is a Christian, but one of the other personalities is a Pagan.
I would assume that God is ok with this as well. :D

and to jeancommunicate-this has absolutely nothing to do with sin. DID is a recognized mental illness, which is caused by extreme emotional trauma. The trauma forces the person's personality to split, so that the whole can survive. If you think about it, people with DID are actually stronger mentally than the rest of us!

Answer 3

I have heard of one case when a person accepted God and one by one each one of the personalities accepted and the person was cured. This is a very wierd and freak case though and I have never heard it happening anywhere else.
Obviously we can't really know the answer but as a pastor and holding a B.S. in psychology it is very interesting.
I would believe that even though that person maintains multiple personalities he/she still only has one soul. Therefore even if the rest of the personalities deny God that person has reached out with the one part of them that is willing to be saved and therefore the person is. Hope this helps! Good question!

Answer 4

In order to properly and objectively answer that question, one would have to ask this one: Do people with dissociateive personality disorders have more than one soul or a soul for each peronsality? We would also need to know according to which religious affiliation you are asking. Catholics may have different views on this than Baptists just as Christians may have different views on this subject than Muslims. If the belief was that there was a soul for each personality, I suppose it would depend on each independent personality. So perhaps some of the personalities' souls would go to Heaven, and some wouldn't.

Answer 5

The only ones that get saved from Jesus are the non-believing ones.

Answer 6

If you can ever get him in the presence of the Lord all those personalities will flee. Sin can't stand up in the presence of God.

Answer 7

I'll bet the bible would demand that all personalities are saved. Since that may not happen, all the souls go to hell!

Answer 8

Just the Jesus one :-)

Answer 9

GOOD QUESTION! Do all the personalities have a soul?

Answer 10
