Will I be going straight to hell because I wasn't baptized?

Not necessarily.
Baptism is a sign and a seal, a proclaimation of an acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Since baptism comes after salvation, the fact you are not baptized is not a factor in your salvation but instead an indicator of it. Therefore, if you are saved you will want to be baptized in order to publicly acknowledge that fact.

Well if you are saved and don't get a chance to be baptized than when you die you aren't going to a hell. For one thing Hell is symbolic anyway. Like the other person said it doesnt say in the bible that if you aren't baptize when you die that you are going to hell. That is crazy ideal. I believe that you going to go to heaven. Now if you are a n evil person when the Lord Jesus comes back you will have a second chance to be saved. It doesn't say anything in the bible that people are going to be baptize in the new heavens and earth

Depending on what you have done with your life, and depending on whether or not you believe in Catholic doctrine, you might end up in purgatory! Ohhhh to be caught between two worlds! Thankfully, they got rid of limbo - those poor wee babes!
Now for some truth. You are the creator of your own reality. Where you go post mortem will be the direct result of what you've created, and what you create for yourself post mortem. For some tasty eye-candy that deals with this a bit, go out and rent, "What Dreams May Come." A lovely little film staring Robin Williams and one of the most beautiful "moving-pictures" that I've ever seen. It is quite literally an artist's painting that moves in film.

According to the Bible in Mark 16:16, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." This answers the question.

Have you asked Jesus into your heart?
Have you repented of your sins?
If so, what are you waiting for (baptism)?
Where in scripture does it say you must be baptized or go to hell? It doesn't.
Most Christians want to proclaim to the world, what's stopping you?
That's not to guilt or condemn you...(There is no condemnation in Jesus Christ).

baptism is not a necessity of the christian faith. nowhere in the bible does it say those who arent baptised will go to hell. all it is, is a symbol of rebirth. basically symbolising you starting a new life, a life dedicated to god.

Not at all. That is religious doctrine talk. You go home were you came from and there is no bad judgment on anything.

no because to my way of thinking this is a minor problem in regards to certain religious belief systems
