More importantly, I would like to share with you the Truth about the afterlife. I only tell you this because I care what will happen to you when you die. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain? These are just a few of God’s Moral Laws. When you die, God will judge you on the basis of His Moral Law. If you stand guilty before God of breaking His Laws, He will send you to Hell. If God is Just and Holy, He must punish lawbreakers. The good news is that God provided a way for you to be forgiven and go to Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins and take your punishment. What you must do is Repent, which means to say you are sorry to God and turn away from your sins. Then put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because you’re a good person, but because you’re a bad person who’s been forgiven. Please give this some thought. Your Eternal Destination depends on it.

Okay. Let me go rape and kill for the next few years and then I'll repent. Give me your address? I have some friends that can be inspired to sin on earth for awhile. Then, since you are 100% right and you have absolutely convinced me that this is the truth, I know I won't go to hell.

Joyce Meyer said it best:
Some Christians have enough Jesus to get to heaven but not enough to overcome.
One person did a study on evangelizing, what percentage witness to nonbelievers. This was around 27%.
The next question was asked to the other 73% whay they don't witness.
The number 1 answer?
Not enough Jesus in their lives to be an effective witness.
Does this surprise anyone? We are told to lift Jesus up, and HE will draw all men unto Him.
Sorry to say, but there are plenty of "Christians" who have not understood holiness, the need to obey the commandments and love the Lord God with all their heart. Some seek the hands of God rather than Him and His voice.
Too many use God's grace in vain. In this, I mean they use God's grace as a cover up and excuse to continue sinning, believing they are always forgiven. God forgives but the Word says we should not practice sinning (Romans 6:15-16, Hebrews 10:26).
I'm not perfect, either, that's why I need Jesus every day. But I am learning to keep my eyes on Jesus. Only because of Him can I access the throne room and be in His presence.

Nowhere in the bible is HELL written, nor any equivilent translation mentioned. It is a pagan (Mainly originating form Babylon, Persia and Phoenicia) doctrine that has been incorporated into christianity to broaden its influence.
Jesus taught that the dead are conscious of nothing at all - Ecclesiastes 9 v5.
The bible does mention 'Gehenna' though, which symbolises eternal desruction, such as by fire.
Your belief sounds like that of a 'born again' christian - "once saved always saved!"

I don't share my faith with people unless they're interested because God gave us all free will to pick what religion we wish to belong to. I have no wish to lecture or push my religion upon others. I enjoy discussing religion and agreeing to disagree.
Anyway, most of your question doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless you're refering to 'confessions' as the people around here call them. In that case, I have NO interest in hearing about how Jesus helped you find your socks this morning.

A lot of Christians are afraid of the persecution from the non-believers. Far to many do not realize what God saved them from, and still others are not true Christians.
Do not listen to what these----- well ------ people are saying. Hang in there, continue to do your best to keep the Great Commission.
God Bless you in all you do.

This is exactly why. Christians are fascists who do everything possible to force their religion on anyone standing nearby. They lead other people to believe that their religion truly is the best, when it's all just a great big lie.

You can't share it here. Ironically The ANTICHRISTS have literally taken over the religion section of this Q&A. You can't share your faith or even have a logical discussion without being chewed up and spit out by the ANTICHRISTS. Thankfully the ANTICHRISTS are cowards and rarely appear in public places spouting their hatred for God.

Trust me plenty of christians "share" their faith, meaning a decent amount of them throw it in other peoples faces and judge them and on and on. There are the good ones tho that just say this is what i believe, what do you believe?

it is very dangerous for any human to "condemn" another to "HELL". please do your research on the words sheol, hades and gehenna, three words all rendered as hell in some Bibles!
i personally look forward to a life on a paradise earth, not heaven. And if i am judged unworthy i believe i will go to gehenna.ETERNAL DESTRUCTION(not hellfire). If i die before armageddon i hope that i will remain safe in Jehovahs memory in my grave(sheol).

without reading your crazy long explanation of afterlife or whatever it is , good people don't share , exploit , solicit , ect.. their beliefs on other people . Your duty is not to convert people , live your life the way you want and quit bothering people with your crazy fairy tale of a belief system
