If you are truly a christian then you will not commit suicide. If God is in your life, you have much to live for and much task to do than commit suicide. It is not in the nature of christians to commit suicide. For it is written, "thou shalt not kill" therefore if you kill yourself, YOU WILL GO TO HELL

You die.
It would be a premature and unfortunate death.
Whatever happens after death, commiting suicide is ending the only life you have on earth.
If you believe in God, seems strange to me that God would put you on earth just so you can take that life from yourself. If you believe in God, isn't it God's decision when you are to die?
If you don't believe in God, why give up the only life you'll ever have?
No matter what you believe, living life the best you can is the only thing you can do. Whatever is going on in your life it must surely be better than death, or at the very least there is that potential that life can improve.
If this is more than a hypothetical question, maybe it is time for a change in your life. Think of what would need to be different for you to be happier, then do it. Seek out help.

If by "free will" you mean ignorance of the truth, then I suppose you could say that it was robbed from you. It's too bad that you see it that way, though. God sent Jesus Christ into the world so that we COULD have the choice to live forever with Him. Using a very loose analogy, it's like The Matrix. Once Neo knew the truth, he then had the free will to choose whether or not to live in the real world or to ignorantly continue living his life on earth. Before he was aware of the real world, he didn't have a choice. Jesus Christ gave us that choice. :) A wonderful, spectacular life is waiting for you if you simply repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him . . . a life far better than you could ever have wished for. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” - 1 Corinthians 2:9

that's complicated. Basically, by taking your life, your life is in your hands and not God's, so there lies a problem.
However, this is not a continual sin, so it can be forgiven.
again though, you go to Hell when your life is yours or the devils
However, a person may be compelled to commit suicide if insane
again, a person may be compelled to commit any sin while insane, and that doesn't justify it
However, the only way to Hell is by [continually] rejecting Christ. And we don't know if a suicidal is intentionally denying Christ.
again, what you do comes out of your heart. so if they sinned, they meant to do it, which is defiance against God, Christ.
so let's just say God is the fair judge and unless someone asks Him during a Spiritual encounter, I'm not sure we can know.

*Your Excellent Question was worth doing a some Research on.
Those who are adamant that a person who takes his life is committing an unforgive-
able sin, and will go to hell, are basing their belief on church doctrine rather than on the Bible. Scripture is silent on the subject. There are no verses that say "He who takes his own life shall be damned for Eternity in Hell !" According to Scripture, only one sin does not have forgiveness, and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (see Mark 3:29). Suicide is not the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, according to the bible. That means there is forgiveness for every other sin.
Some quote 1 Corinthians 3:17, which says that God will destroy someone who "defiles" the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yet, there is disagreement about what it means to defile the temple. Does this include suicide? Does it include illicit drug abuse (slow suicide), prescription drug abuse, cigarettes (deliberately breathing in poisons that will eventually kill), tattoos, over-eating (digging a grave with your spoon), or alcohol abuse?
God forbid that we add to the pain of someone who has lost a loved one through the tragedy of suicide, by making a judgment about their eternal destiny. God is the ultimate Judge [and humanity is not to Judge others Jesus said in Matt. 7:1-5) and we should therefore leave the issue in His hands. It would be wise to follow the biblical example and not come to any verdict in the case of suicide.
*Believed strongly that Your sincere question deserved a True, Honest Answer, which you Now have.
-Please remember, ALL Living beings are Precious, are Valuable, and always deserving of Happiness, simply because we exist. *It is our Mind, and how we perceive things, which mostly brings Suffering and disappointments in our lives.
*Personally, I believe that What brings Human Beings the Most Happiness in Life is Living compassionately and Mindfully toward others with true sincere intentions to bring peace of Mind and Happiness to others.
"Bringing Happiness and peace of mind to others in Life, especially my Wife and two wonderful children is what brings me purpose in life and the Most Happiness in Life, and thus takes my Mind of the sadening, depressing and unhappy thoughts which do take place in all of our lives.
-Hope this all helps.

With Love and Friendship.

I can't say I do know the answer to that question for sure, but do you think that a believer in the Lord can commit suicide, regardless of what problems, or situation, that they are going through. Jesus told us to cast our cares upon Him for He careth for us. If a believer is rooted and grounded in the Lord, I don't think that that is possible. However, a person having just a knowledge about God can, whether they are wearing the name 'christian' on their sleeves or chest, they have the ability to do so. The Spirit of the Lord gives life.

I would like to say that you would go to heaven...but why would anyone ask such a question? I can't deny your Christianity because I don't know your heart. Hopefully your in a right relationship with the Savior so that you will not do something stupid like that.

A true born again Christian would not commit suicide. Anyway, to answer your question read the Ten Commandments. To not kill also means yourself. If you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, suicide would not cross your mind. The only ones who think of those things are people who are churchy, but not saved. Here is a website that will help you to understand better than I can explain.
