I don't know if this is a serious question, but I have this real-life situation in my family. I have a mentally ill sister. She has been a born again Christian for many years, but has been sliding gradually into schizophrenia for years. One of the symptoms of schiz. can be an obsession with religion. Any conversation with her is 90% religious/spiritual content, no matter what you are discussing. So while her illness affects various aspects of her life and her perception of reality, she does love the Lord.
Was this a serious question? Had a serious answer.

Many people will say that developmentally deficient adults (DDAs) automatically get a free ticket to heaven, just like "innocent" babies. However, this makes salvation man's decision when I believe the call belongs to God instead as to who are the sheep and who are the goats.

It depends. Some people become mentally ill because of the sin they commit.

Yes. If you have cancer and are a believer will you go to heaven?

Your "affliction" will only have served to teach you different karmic lessons from those learned by "normal" people. What you learned in life determines what you will experience in your illusory afterlife. Enlightenment however is the only true reality.

I believe so. Jesus said that if we have Him we are saved. It doesn't matter if you are sane or insane. You are one of His anyway. So, if we are both saved, I hope to see you in heaven!
