If someone doesn't trust in God cannot go to Heaven. Many people say, a person who commit suicide refuses life. And life is a gift of God. So who refuses life is also refusing God.
I think, most people who commit suicide is not refusing life (and not refusing God) but is refusing to suffer further. Sometime the suffering is in the body, sometime in the soul. This means, it is impossible for us to know what happens with the person who committed suicide.
One can want his suffering to be ended and, at the same time, believe in God and want to be saved by God. We cannot say anything about what God would decide, in this case. We can only remember this: God is Love.

Yes, you can, if you are saved by grace. People who commit suicide are seriously disturbed. Why would God punish one of His children who commits an act while he/she is emotionally and mentally incompetent? Salvation is a gift, not earned, and once God gives us the gift, He will not take it away.

I don't know. Honestly - death is supposed to be a natural occurrence, right? But, if you take it into your own hands, it's considered selfish, right? So, do you think that would weigh in on God's decision to send you to Heaven, or Hell? That's really the question, and you're going to have to answer that for yourself based on what you think God would do in that situation.
Good luck.

Many people who commit suicide do so while in a traumatic state of mind and may not realize the enormity of their actions, I believe that God would be merciful to them more merciful in fact than we who love to judge.

When we are faced with certain situation...who are we to blame others for things. it all comes down to who you are and what your purpose in this world is....say you killed yourself because you are mentally ill, or the demeans are controlling you...God knows that you were placed in a particular situation. He forgives you for your sins....you just have to accept him into your heart...then committing suicide and you will never cross paths.

If you or somebody you know is considering suicide, I would encourage you or that person to talk to somebody else.
If you don't feel like you have anyone to talk to, email me at samans442@yahoo.com.
I don't want to worship a God who provides all the answers to questions like these, because if we had all the answers, we'd be God, or the one to whom we prayed wouldn't be inspiring.
Relationships are what matter. Those between ourselves and our family and friends, and ultimately the relationship between God and ourselves. He wants nothing more than to talk to you.
Hopefully you have someone you can turn to if you need help building that relationship. If not, I'm available.
Take care.

Committing suicide is not trusting the LORD JESUS CHRIST. No CHRIST, no HEAVEN.

No, but only because heaven doesn't exist and there is no part of you that can 'go' anywhere once you're dead.

No, because there is no heaven.
Life is your one and only chance. It cannot possibly be bad enough to end it, when you consider the alternative.
