   It's not a matter of belief, hell exists, it is as real as the planet earth, the oceans & the sky. Let's examine the place the Bible calls hell. If what you read is true — YOU COULD BE IN SERIOUS DANGER!
   Several years ago a book was published, entitled Beyond Death's Door by Dr. Maurice Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine & Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr. Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" & death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr. Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified & screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:
   "Each time he regained heartbeat & respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified & pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, & he was perspiring & trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."
   Then still another strange thing happened. He said,"Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, & it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before." (Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).Dr. Rawlings said, no one, who could have heard his screams & saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called hell!
   
   The Bible continually warns of a place called hell. There are over 162 references in the New Testament alone which warns of hell & over 70 of these references were uttered by the Lord Jesus Christ! Scientist & Bible teacher, Henry Morris also agrees the Bible plainly teaches that hell is in this earth: "So far as we can tell from Scripture, the present hell, is somewhere in the heart of the earth itself. It is also called 'the pit' (Isa. 14:9, 15: Ezek. 32:18-21) & 'the abyss' (Rev. 9:2).The writers certainly themselves believed hell to be real & geographically 'beneath' the earth's surface. . .
   Millionaire Ted Turner said "I’m looking forward to dying & being cast into Hell. That's where I belong." You say he’s a fool! But friend, say "No"  to Jesus Christ & His payment you’ll pay for your sins in hell!

   The truth is, we all belong in hell, even Christians. As the Scriptures say, "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." All humans are born  in sin and it is our nature to choose evil over good. We all deserve to spend eternity separated from God.
   There is only one difference between those going to heaven and those going to hell and that is Jesus. When we repent from our sins and our baptized into Christ our sins are washed away and we are given the righteousness of Christ; when God the Father looks at us he sees only Jesus, not the evil people we are.
   Nothing we do can earn our way out of hell and nothing we do makes us less deserving of it. But God demonstrates his love for us in this, while we are still sinners, Christ died for us.
   We cannot earn our way out of hell, but through his perfect life, his death on the cross and his resurrection Christ paid the price for us and whoever calls on his name will be saved.

   Hell is a matter of choice, nobody need to go there, we choose it by our words, thoughts, actions and deeds.
   
   Yeshua gave His life in order that we have that choice, no Yeshua, no choice.
   
   Choose wisely.

      You shouldn't preach about things without fully explaining, so what you just said is no one need preach the gospel because God has chosen who he will save from hell before they were born and they need not choose. That isn't correct.

   The Criteria for going to Hell is not BELIEVING what CHRIST DIED FOR which (in addition to the remission of our sins), is the key to getting to heaven "THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST" (Galatians 1:6-9)!
   
   RELIGION (The Nicene Council=SATAN) has society "BEWITCHED" thinking ALL should believe in "twisted doctrine," which works on SATAN'S behalf and MOST FOOLS have fallen for it! 
   
   HARSH but TRUE (Hebrews 4:12)!
   
   IF one KNOWS Scripture, you know Jesus Christ was born, walked on earth giving us an example & fulfilling "some" law, Promised Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26; 16:13), DIED, commanded us to "OBSERVE" disciples (Matt 28:18), commanded disciples to "WAIT" for Holy Spirit who would HELP us (Acts 1:4), fulfilled Promise of Holy Spirit (Acts 2:2), Established FIRST CHURCH which is our example of THE CHURCH (Acts 1 & 2), "chose" Paul to continue in HIS Stead (Acts 9:15), THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST is built on the FOUNDATION of the Apostles & the prophets (Eph 2:20; Rev 21:14), and we (as disciples) should build upon that FOUNDATION, "BUT WHO CARES?" 
   
   SO HERE IS YOUR TICKET ("criteria") TO HELL:  "IGNORING HIS WORD and "Just going alone with the flow" of the Nicene Council!" 
   
   I can't change HIS WORD and neither can you! 
   
   IT IS WRITTEN! 
   
   But because it is AGAINST "teachings," (Nicene Council), WHO CARES?  Because it is different from what RELIGION teaches, WHO CARES?  Because it is being given by a "simple messenger," WHO CARES? Because it's not traditional, WHO CARES?  Because it goes against EVERYTHING you've learned or DOES NOT MAKE "SENSE" (although WRITTEN), WHO CARES?
   
   GOD has left HIS WORD and it is EVERYONE'S position to "STUDY" (II Timothy 2:15) to "SEE if these things are so" (Acts 17:11) or you meet "the criteria for going to HELL once you die!"       
   
   "BUT WHO CARES?"

   If you fail to choose to Believe in Jesus Christ, you have a reservation in Hell.  Then you must choose to obey God's commandments, seeking forgiveness for your failings (sins).
   
   To believe in Jesus Christ is to put Truth first and foremost before all things.  Being saved is ultimately about whether you choose to become a mature spiritual being or not.  Choose Life - not death.
