Can Pray For Satan / Lucifer??

Can Christians pray to God for the salvation of satan? In hope he might return to the path of good and relinquish his vengeance to God.
Or Satan is already condemned for all eternity??

If you understand how salvation works, you might not ask the question.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Can Christians pray to God for the salvation of satan? In hope he might return to the path of good and relinquish his vengeance to God.

Yes, you can pray for the salvation of your love ones, only because they are humans!
I quote Hebrews 1:14 - Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
So you get a hint here that angels are servants for humans. It is like the butler serving the young master who will inherit the whole estate.
Back to the comparison between humans and satan. Both are no good at the start. Theology tells us that humans can be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Do you think satan can be regenerated by the Holy Spirit? -
Well dont talk abt salvation then. Just the simple concept of praying for satan or lucifer tat he chooses to lead the path of light. can?Originally posted by Icemoon:If you understand how salvation works, you might not ask the question.

If you want then go ahead lor. But the best is to pray to Satan directly, so that he can be led to the right path. You must talk, pray and whisper to him.

Biblically not possible.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Well dont talk abt salvation then. Just the simple concept of praying for satan or lucifer tat he chooses to lead the path of light. can?
Because Jesus has already prophesized (through the Apostle John) the ending of satan:
Rev 20:The Judgment of Satan
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. -
unlike human beings, angels once condemned is unable to be redeemed.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Can Christians pray to God for the salvation of satan? In hope he might return to the path of good and relinquish his vengeance to God.

yes, satan and his angels are condemned for all eternity. the lake of fire is their final destiny together with all who follow them. -
well i guess that explains everything..Originally posted by NT2:unlike human beings, angels once condemned is unable to be redeemed.

interesting.
I asked a question similar to this before, in my younger days as a Protestant.
"God is almighty and forgiving. Will He forgive Satan one day?"
But I was told that Satan is condemned eternally. There is no Salvation for him. -
hhaa...ultimately as difficult for us to understand, we need to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. who are we to plea for satan? we cant even save ourselves and wanna save satan?Originally posted by Honeybunz:interesting.

ya hor. You have a point there.Originally posted by NT2:hhaa...ultimately as difficult for us to understand, we need to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. who are we to plea for satan? we cant even save ourselves and wanna save satan?

IMHO .. if a person asks the question to find out whether God is almighty and forgiving .. he has missed the point.Originally posted by Honeybunz:interesting.

Because the "correct answer" to the question should be - will Satan repent one day?
To be more humourous .. will Satan do penance in front of his nemesis the archangel Michael? -
haha....my point may seemed blunt....pun intended.Originally posted by Honeybunz:ya hor. You have a point there.

But you are already saved. (luckily I never give the heretical reply you have already saved yourselfOriginally posted by NT2:hhaa...ultimately as difficult for us to understand, we need to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. who are we to plea for satan? we cant even save ourselves and wanna save satan?
haha )
So will you want to save satan? -
will satan serve in church as worship leader?
hahahaha -
he was once angel of music.Originally posted by NT2:will satan serve in church as worship leader?
hahahaha
he will be an asset during worship. -
salvation is not mine. it belongs to our God and the Lamb who sits upon the Throne.Originally posted by Icemoon:But you are already saved. (luckily I never give the heretical reply you have already saved yourself )
So will you want to save satan?
i cant save myself and salvation is the sole intiative and work of God. human beings cannot even cooperate with God in the plan of Salvation. -
Oh ya. I did ask that also...heheheOriginally posted by Icemoon:IMHO .. if a person asks the question to find out whether God is almighty and forgiving .. he has missed the point.

Of course the answer I got was also NO. -
you can always pray for satan to be saved (*gulp*) .. hopefully your prayer will melt God's heart.Originally posted by NT2:salvation is not mine. it belongs to our God and the Lamb who sits upon the Throne.

but I think God's reply will be similar to how He replied Abraham during Sodom and Gomorrah.
And then the issue of Jesus Christ will pop out .. but then satan will be too full of pride to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour. -
no repentance == no salvation.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Oh ya. I did ask that also...hehehe
Of course the answer I got was also NO.
This is crystal clear. -
ok...not bad ur responses.Originally posted by Icemoon:you can always pray for satan to be saved (*gulp*) .. hopefully your prayer will melt God's heart.

I just stumbled upon an interesting question.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Oh ya. I did ask that also...hehehe
Of course the answer I got was also NO.
Do you think archangel Michael do penance .. say in front of Gabriel?
