Unfortunately Yes. Jesus said, "He who is not with Me is against Me." One cannot be on the fence about Jesus. In fact, being on the fence is already considered a rejection of Jesus.

Being agnostic means that you are keeping your mind open. You don't know or have the answers and that to me means you will probably have integrity and sincerity, more so, than those who choose "by faith" to follow a certain religion.
I believe God exists although I don't really know for sure. The God of Christianity and Islam claim a God who is truly just. If this is so he will not send anyone who is honest with themselves to hell.
Moreover I am confident that in reality there is no 'eternal' hell in the way that many muslims and christians believe. I love this life and all the things I have to learn here. Even though I don't really know what lies beyond this life I am quite sure I am under far less illusion than those who choose 'by faith' to believe the claims of their religion whether they chose it or grew up with it.
Another fellow agnostic.

You may consciously be an agnostic, but if you fear Hell, you are subconsciously a believer. You have to either go by your gut or your brain. I don't know what to tell you.
But the meaning of the word "agnostic" is "don't know"-- a rather honest and true statement, as nobody DOES really know about these things, whatever we may hope or believe! I cannot conceive of a just and loving God sending somebody for Hell for admitting not knowing, because the people who won't admit it don't know either. Unverifiable beliefs are scanty pretensions thinly masking total ignorance. All of us know little or nothing about anything.
As for God, why would He or She send somebody to Hell for admitting the truth-- that they don't know? The world has hypocrites, liars and frauds to burn, but some guy admits he doesn't know something so God sends him to Hell! Doesn't make sense.
I believe in God and an afterlife because it comforts me to hope. I am against fear as a motive for believing because "love casteth out fear", and the more a belief system is based on fear the less room is left in the believer's heart for love.
Control freaks-- whether evangelists or political powers-- love fear-filled people, because they are easy to manipulate and milk for money.

No body can send any body to Hell except God. If you are agnostic and you have your own way of justifying your faith, then He who created you will deal with you according to your heart. No body has the power and the infinite knowledge to be just and judge you fair except God. Also, if you ask your own heart, you may find the answer, because God resides in you and He may reveal where you are going if you ask him.

Do you have fear that you may go to hell because of your thinking. I think you do not want to go to hell, that means you know about hell. Only thing that you do not know is the way to go to heaven.There is a way. Read Bible

Yes. We can only be save from the fires of hell by obedience to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
Pray this prayer and walk closely to Christ :
Father in Heaven,
I know that I am a sinner
and need forgiveness.
I believe that Your Son Jesus
died in my place,
to pay the penalty for my sin,
and rose again for my salvation.
I want to turn from my sinful ways,
so I now ask you,
Lord Jesus, to come
into my life as my Savior
and my Lord.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
To reject God's FREE offer of salvation is to spend eternity separated from God in Hell

Not if you don't think it exists. Don't let Christians tell you your going to hell just because of your religious path.
