It has been taught first by the Roman Catholic church for the past thousand years and all over Christian denominations that suicide is the sin to which is a fast track to hell. That once you commit suicide then you are going strait to hell. I heard one man explain it this way, when you commit suicide you have no chance to repent of that sin so you go strait to hell. Well i would agree with that for an unsaved person, but not for a saved born again Christian.  Even the title bears the truth, saved and unsaved people, those who are saved are saved indeed no matter what sin they commit, and those who are unsaved are unsaved until they are covered with the blood of Jesus Christ. I believe the idea that suicide is a one way path to hell is in fact a distortion of the truth. Anyone who says that even a Christian who commits suicide is going to hell is somebody who has a very immature knowledge of the gospel and a very law driven salvation instead of salvation through grace alone. Remember, the way to heaven is not doing good by the law and repenting for the times we sin, if that were true then Christ died for nothing! But Christ died so that we could live under grace, that when we accept his blood on the cross as the sacrifice that it is a once for all purifying us of all our sins, past, present and future. When we accept Christ we have become as pure as Christ in the eyes of God, no matter what sin you commit your sin is forgiven by the blood of Christ. As much as some immature Christians still try to preach the blood of Christ mixed with the law of God in one grace law filled mixture. How can you say the blood of Christ washes away my sins and in the same breath say if you commit suicide your going to hell? If the act of suicide which is sin is covered by the blood of Christ then God can no more see that suicide then any other act of sin. The blood of Jesus Christ was shed once for all for our sins, he was the sacrifice which made us whole. In the old testament, a lamb had to be slain once a year for the sins of Israel, but Christ does not have to be crucified once a year, he died once for all, for sins past present and to come.

Look at Samson, a man filled with the power of the holy spirit who killed himself as his last act on earth. Samson asked God to restore to him the power that he once knew so that he could knock over the pillers and kill himself and all his enemies who were with him. Do you think that God would let one of his great men of the bible commit suicide if it were an automatic path to hell? To be saved we must accept the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross which is accepted through faith and repentence. Repentence is not the means of salvation, it is a way of accepting the salvation which is bought through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which we know is for sins past present and future. So even if you do not repent for a sin, does not mean you are going strait to hell. For when we put our faith in Christ and repented of our sins and accepted the atonement of Jesus blood then no act of sin could separate us from Christ in God. When we knowingly sin it is good to repent and stay humble in faith before our God, but if the theory that unrepentent sin is more powerful then the blood of Jesus is true then even the smallest unrepented white lie of your life would leave you in hell. I know that even since I have accepted Jesus as Savior im sure there has been a time or two when i have forgotten to repent of some small sin, or maybe i didnt even think about it cause it was so small. Does that mean im going to hell? No! Because when i accepted Christs gift of salvation that shadow of salvation does not just clean me of my past sins, it cleans me of my present and future sins and if i commited suicide it to would be covered by the atonement of Christ.
