There's not one scintella of evidence in the existence of satan, god, jesus, the tooth fairy or the boogey man. To think that there's spirits running around or that there's an afterlife, is fanciful thinking. While it might be nice to see long dead relatives or to think that we'll be living a life of eternal bliss (or the other place), without proof, its just fanciful thinking....sorry.

It depends. If you believe in Satan and worship him, then you'll go to hell for all eternity. If you believe in Satan and also in Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit, and follow the teachings of the Catholic (Christian) religion, you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Naturally, becoming one of the chosen ones will not be an easy task. You can't just say you believe, you have to truly believe. In Revelations, many of the people who believe in Catholicism (Christianity) will have to endure torture from the Beast, the Dragon, and the False Prophet and will ultimately die for God through hanging, and whatever methods that will be employed. As well, when being concerned with Judgment Day you have to be aware that the false prophet and the beast are not going to be extremely obvious. Most likely, these things are going happen slowly, and these creature will be people you consider honest and true, and will feel obligated to follow. When being concerned with Judgment Day you will have to try to tear back the curtains and view things with a critical mind. Not everything will be black and white, there will be no thunderbolts from the sky, 7 headed beast crawling through the streets, or Angels on Horses riding off in the sunset, these things are going to be disguised. It will be a test, and those who truly know God will prevail. Knowing God doesn't only mean sitting in Church every Sunday, it involves spiritual communication and extreme personal thought on the subject. No one can teach you how to know God, you have to experience it. Strong communication with God and Jesus will help this. The bible teaches us that the only way to go to God is through Jesus. You have to believe in Jesus before you can accept God. Hope this helps!

Do you mean, what will happen to people who serve satan on judgment day? Because Christians as well as satanists believe in the existance of satan, the difference is one serves him and the other serves the one and only true God.
Revelation 20: 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The lake of fire is likely symbolic of an eternity with a burning conscience as the result of not choosing God when one had the chance to do so. There's certainly no reward for serving satan, he is the author of lies and has nothing good in store for his followers. But Jesus Christ is the only way, the only truth and the only life and is ready to bless as many as will choose to serve Him with life eternal. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

I believe in satan, but I believe he's an evil being. I believe in Jesus too, and that he is definitely not evil.
It's not the belief in something that does anything to you on judgement day, it's whose teachings you are following that make the difference.
I assume you meant to ask... what happens to people who follow satan's influence when judgement day comes. Those people are so screwed.

> I agree with Mister M, if you believe in Satan... you should already believe in Jesus; heck, even demons believe in Jesus (they knew who he was even before his disciples realized it).
> With the direction you're moving in, you should be good on judgement day. It's a long road to travel and it's not easy but it will be worth it.
> As long as you DO NOT blaspheme the Holy Spirit you should be good.
(NIV) Matt 12:31-32
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
> seeing as how so many horrendous things can be forgiven, I have come to think that the only time you could not possibly be forgiven is if you are so far away from God that you refuse to be forgiven / refuse to ask for or accept His grace.
(NIV) Mark 5:1-20
The Healing of a Demon-possessed Man
the demon possed man approaching Jesus
Mark 5:6-8:
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"
> For you to be curious about this is a great sign that you are already feeling a spirtual tug to know more and the truth will set you free. Sorry to sound corny but it's the truth and it was an amazing realization when I came back to Jesus after being away for a while. =)
NIV Matthew 7:7-12
Ask, Seek, Knock
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

on the day of their death they are cast into hell. On the day of judgment all of the dead great and small will stand before the throne of God and the books will be opened. The sea gives up the dead and death and hell give up their dead and each person is judged according to what he (or she) had done. Then death and hell are cast into the lake of fire. the lake of fire is the second death. if anyone's name is not found in the book of life (which consists of those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior) then he (or she) will be thrown into the lake of fire.

You can't believe in Jesus without believing in Satan. So if you believe in Jesus... see you in heaven!
