Isn't body piercing abusing your body? And doesn't it say that abusers of the body shall not reach Heaven?

it says all non-Christians go to Hell.

No, that's goofy. With all of the more important things there are to worry about, I doubt a little piercing will really be important in the grand scheme of things. Try following Christ's example, and believing in Him. That will get us where we want to be. It would be a shame if a piercing put you out of the running for heaven.

1.) A non-Christian is in danger of Hell for the simple fact that they've sinned just once in their life. They're in danger of Hell because they've refused Christ in their life.
Not because they got a piercing.
2.) The part about "abusing the body" is in reference to sexual sins.
3.) Ear piercings were a sign in the days of the Hebrews that a freed slave rejected his own freedom, and chose to live with his master instead, continuing to serve him, both as a servant and likened unto a family member.
4.) In Song of Solomon, Solomon's wife was decorated with ear- and nose-rings.
5.) To the reference of the forbidding of tattoos and piercings, the only prohibition against them is that it is not done in reverance of the dead.
6.) I have had 8 piercings altogether (three sets lobal for beauty reasons [one set to fix the damage to an earlier piercing], one helix cartiliage [for the reason that I am a willing servant to God], and one tongue [for the reason that I am to remember that, to put it like David said it, my tongue is bridled, so that I know when it'd be good for me to speak, and when it is better to stay silent]). And I am a devout Christian.

It is not sinful to get a peircing or a tattoo. Not sure why anyone would say that either. I believe you are using the passages about abuse of the body incorrectly. As I recall, they are mostly metaphor concerning caring for others, but if you have a particular passage in mind I'd love to hear it.

The non-Christian is in danger of hell because they have not found the narrow way to heaven. God is not so petty as to have a problem with piercings.

If they are a non-christian then they are in danger of hell already. I don't think we should abuse or temple. That's tattoos,body piercing, or anything of that sort.

Christians have body piercings, but are you experimenting with both religion and piercings? I don't think that pierced ears are hell bound, but is that what you meant?
What would you like to accomplish here?

The only way to get to hell is by not accepting christ....you wont lose ure salvation for a body piercing.....if you abuse your bady you are sinning and hurting God but theres nothing that can make you lose your salvation.

Yes they are in danger
Not necessarily because of the piercing, but because they are a non-Christian,

hahahaha...you christians never cease to amaze me. if body alteration is a sin then wouldnt wearing cologne (a form of pharamone) is also evil. deodorant woul be evil as woudl anti persperent.... makeup would be evil, clothes in general would be evi ls they make certain parts of the body stand out more or less.
any sort of alteration would be evil...interestingly nakendness is apparently also evil....so youre damned if you do and damned if you dont.
