Question> Are There People Who Can Not Be Saved?

QUESTION RECEIVED:
Are there people who because of mental illness or attitude unable to be saved?

MY ANSWER:
Does God want the people you described to be saved?  Can anybody be saved?
Yes.
1 Timothy 2:3-5 New King James Version (NKJV)
“3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,”

First God will save whoever He wants to save and draw men to His Son.  
John 6:44  (NKJV)
“44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

People have always resisted the Holy Spirit.
Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

Here is a concise Scriptural way of Salvation.
Ephesians 1
“13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

All people must be drawn by God to be saved.They can resist the call of salvation. They hear the gospel that Jesus Christ who was fully God and man, who lived a perfect life died to pay for the sin of us who repented and believed.  Jesus Christ received our sins.  We receive forgiveness of sins,  peace with God and eternal life in Heaven.

Illness or mental conditions are as not as strong as God.
A mental condition or illness is not stronger than God’s salvation.

When God draws people they can hear the gospel, repent and believe.
