1st Q: You also need to follow the teachings of Jesus. "even the demons believe and tremble"
2nd Q: Who said Adam and Noah were prophets? Not in Bible, but if we were to speculate on the teachings of the time it would probably include animal sacrifices since we see that was started as early as Cain and Abel. That is why the jealousy arose when God accepted Abel's animal sacrifice but not Cain's vegetable sacrifice. Remember that was Old Covenant which was a covenant of flesh and works, while the New Covenant is a covenant of spirit.
3rd Q: The time for forgiveness is on earth. Once you die it is too late.

The climax of the judgement scene is recorded by John in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. "And I saw a great white throne and him that sat upon it from whose face the heaven and the earth fled away, and there was found no place for them. And 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. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it and death and hell (Hades) delivered up the dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to their works." Revelation 20:11-13.
Here are some clear facts from the Bible about the judgement: Fact No. 1: Man must give account of himself on the day of judgement. (Matthew 12:36; Romans 14:10,12). Fact No. 2: All of us shall appear at the judgment. (Acts 17:31; II Corinthians 5:10) Fact No. 3: We're to be judged by how we measure up to the word of God. (John 12:48; Revelation 20:11-13) Fact No. 4: We need to get ready for the judgement day. (II Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 12:36-41)
Now if Jesus is going to be the judge and his words are going to be the standard or rule by which we are judged it becomes very important that we learn what his words are. In the great sermon on the mount he said, "Not everyone who saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name cast out devils and in thy name done more wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me you that work iniquity" Matthew 7:21-23. Those who do his will, will not receive this condemnation and punishment. What will you say at the judgement?
2nd Question..
Back under the old testament was different than in the new, back then it was the works of man that showed who he was serving..
3rd question
The Bible says as the tree falls, so shall it lie. so Phorah feel a siiner and he will be judged as the same.. there is no redemption after death.

1. First Christ went to hell upon his death, where he remained, unable to do anything until his Father resurrected him. I doubt anyone else is better than him, so everyone goes to hell when they die.
2. They taught people about God. We will see them on Earth when they are resurrected.
3. That's up to God. Like everyone, he will be a part of the second resurrection. Whether it is to life or a declaration of judgment is up to God and what he finds in the heart of the person. Not even those claiming to be forgiven has a guarantee, as only God knows the truth of their hearts.

People go to Hell for their sin. Believing in Jesus is what gets you out. Work will not be accepted because of our sin. The fine was paid by the only sinless one and that is why that payment was acceptable to God. It was given by "a spotless lamb". Good works are the outpouring of your salvation. You do good works in appreciation for the great work done for you. You'll never be able to pay it back.
One more thing about the day of Judgement. Matt 7 states that many will come to Jesus on that day claiming to do many great things in his name and he will turn to them and say,"Away from me, you worker of initquity, I never knew you." Many who claim to know Jesus, don't. They think they do. How do we know. Previously in that same chapter, he said that we would know them by their fruit. The way they live their life. Do they struggle with sin? Or do they just do it and enjoy it? Someone who appreciates what the savior did wouldn't be going out and doing the very thing that put him up on that cross. We still will stumble as part of our nature, but we struggle with it.
As far as Pharoah, no one will know the answer to that. Only God knows.

God, the Creator of heaven and earth otherwise called Yahweh, or Jehovah,, sent His Son to this earth in the form of a man, for the express purpose of being the Perfect Sacrificial Lamb, to die on a cross, for the sin of mankind. His name on earth was Jesus, and He was God and human at the same time. If we choose to believe that God did this for us, and that His Son Jesus Christ came to earth and died for us and then rose from the dead on the third day, ascending to heaven where He now intercedes on our behalf, then our relationship with God is restored, and we are "saved" from the final judgement which will occur when Jesus returns to earth. At that time the earth is said to be consumed by fire along with every other thing in this old creation, and a new heaven and earth will replace the old one. God's judgement in regard to all who chose to put their faith in Jesus,, will be blessed with relationship with God for eternity, and those who chose to disregard what Christ did, and turn away from Him, will be judged to continue to exist apart from God which in essence, is hell. We do not know if there are degrees of hell or exactly what it will be, except that Jesus said there will be eternal fire. Also, those who are believers, and therefore part of God's family, will be judged at a certain point according to their work for His kingdom during their life on earth.This judgement will not be accompanied by punishment, but will determine spiritual heirarchy of some type.
Adam was the first human that God created. Adam succumbed to temptation and sinned. His legacy is that all of his prodigy inherited the fallen state due to Adam's sin. We are all sinners at our birth into this world. No matter what we do, we cannot do enough on our own to restore a right relationship with God. God is perfect light, and we are in darkness. It took Jesus who was pure light, because He was from God and part of God (in whom there is no darkness at all) to sacrifice Himself and thus allow us to accept His work on our behalf, in essence, accept His light, HIs way back to God.
Noah was a good man, the only man who believed in God at the time he lived. He still sought truth and the light of God. Everyone else in his generation loved the darkness. Therefore, God made a way for him to live, while God destroyed the rest of the inhabitants on the earth via the flood. Noah, by his obedience when God told him to build an ark and gather the animals in it, proved his personal belief in God, so God saved him. Noah is the ancestor of everyone on this earth today.

1) Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
2) James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
3) If he died with unrepented sins, then no.
