No, Dearheart, you're not going to Hell. You're coming Home with the rest of us (to wherever you think is Home). God loves. Blessings onyou.

I hope this is a serious question, because I am going to answer it like one. If not, maybe someone else can get some use out of this. I have encountered this question before, and some people are quite scared by it.
If you are truly afraid that because of something you said you are going to hell, let me take away your fear. You did the same thing that Peter, the 'rock of the Church,' did (see Luke 22:54-62). Now, Peter clearly denied Christ in front of men three times. Did he go to hell? Certainly not! We know from the words of Jesus Himself that the disciples would go to heaven (Matthew 19:28). Also, in the New Jerusalem, the Holy City yet to come, the names of the twelve apostles will be written on the very foundations of the wall of the city (Revelation 19:14). Clearly, Peter made it to heaven.
Repent, be courageous and speak what you believe to be true. It does not cause God or Jesus to smile when you deny Them; it causes Them pain and sorrow; but, on the other hand, you don't lose your salvation over it either (if you are saved, personal belief in Jesus Christ as having died for your sins and being brought back to life).

I think this passage has a deeper meaning that what is says on the surface. When you deny the god-truth within yourself, you create a separation between your self or personality, and the god-truth within. So there is an effect caused by denying the truth to others. You are essentially pushing the truth further away, and then when you will have to face that denial if you are to become whole again and live in the god-truth of who you truly are. This passage is not a threat of something Christ would do to us as a punishment, but rather a warning about something we are in danger of doing to ourselves. When we distance ourselves from god, we create a part of us through thought that holds us separate from God, so that we can play this game of deception. Ultimately this does not serve us, but it doesn't mean you will go to hell.

Well. The bible also says that even the devil believes and trembles. The key is that you develop a relationship with God just like any other relationship in your life. Depending on how good the relationship is determines what you think/say about it. Try talking to Him. He'll listen...and forgive. Read the Gospel of John.

If denying God makes you this uneasy, I think you should be true to yourself and admit it...start by praying to Him and letting Him know you believe and He'll help you more than you know. Next thing you know it'll become easier admitting it. This doesn't mean you have to walk around screaming it out loud, but you can admit how God is an important part of your life and the wonderful things He's done and will continue doing in your daily life.

You will not go to hell as long as you believe in God and live by His code. It does not say in the Bible that you have to share that you believe in God, but why be ashamed? Nobody will laugh at you and it is good to tell people what you think.

My answer to this is to pray for forgivness right now, and God will forgive you. You have already admitted to the world here that you believe in God, now just trust God, take His son Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior and you will be on the right track. From what I can garner from your question, I don't think you denied God completely and irreversibaly. Just pray to Him, tell Him how sorry you are, and ask His forgivness in Jesus name and repent of it and never deny Him again.

I'm not a Christian but I hear you can ask for forgiveness and then it's all cool again?
The real issue here is that you shouldn't be ashamed of what you believe in. If God is important to you then stick by it, it's no one elses business, is it?

My friend:
You need to look into answering more than this question: to answer your question!!
There is a lot more to getting into heaven than confessing a belief in God... or believing in God... Even the devil himself believes in God & heaven etc... And you definitely wont see him there come the end times!!!

Come on, you can do it!!!!! Why does it bother you to say to someone, "I am so blessed by God....let me tell you what Jesus has done in mylife." It will get easier, and guess what.....God is patiently waiting for you to get strong and encouraging you!!! Good luck and God bless you.....
hey guys...you claim to be Christian and YOU are telling her she is condemned to hell........I suggest we leave the judging up to God. We will all come face to face with the risen Christ.....
