Do you think there must be something spiritually wrong with them or since they don't go to church they must be going to hell?

No I dont look down on anyone for not going to Church.
Jesus did not say believe in me and go to Church... He only said believe in me.. Sadly that is so simple most people miss it.

YES! Although, I pass judgment if someone *does* go to church as well. I guess I'm just judgmental like that... But my judgment is pretty simple about going to hell: EVERYONE is going to hell!! See, the ones not going to church are not following the right religion and neither are the ones that DO go to church because they all go to the WRONG churches, hence, they all go to hell regardless of whether they go to church or not. That explains the painful nature of hell since we all know how annoying and stupid those other people can be!! Ugh! We'll be spending an eternity with THEM!!!

No actually I don't and I don't think there is anything wrong spiritually with anyone who don't go, I don't believe in organized religions, Jesus is my church he is not a building down the street. I speak with many others who are the same at NotReligion.com, there are becoming more and more devout followers of the Lord who follow after no man. Organized Religions have gone off track or were always off track from where they should be in relation to our most Holy God. My God is Good, Loving, Caring, Forgiving, Merciful and Just. I don't believe as many people are going to hell as some would have you believe. I believe God's people are in almost every religion in the world. Using hell as a threat of some sort is stupid although the truly evil are but it is for God to decide not any man thus no one can use the threat of hell on someone else because they don't get the say so, God does. It is a personal thing between everyone and their maker, I have to answer for myself and myself only as it is so with everyone else.

I have no church, and rarely do I visit them...But, as my profile states, my "church" is wherever I happen to be at the time and with whomever the Lord places in my path...I read the Bible, research and study various topics connected one way or another to God, pray, praise, etc.,. as I go about my day and not just 1 day a week...God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are my main teachers, so I do not feel I lack for anything. My heart will love God whether I go to church or not....and, when I can, I help those I have something to help them with.
Peace be with you :)

Absolutely not...a co-worker and I were discussing that the other day...
I believe in God, but I don't go to church. It was forced on me when I was a kid. I think you have a fair chance of being a good person whether or not you go to church. There are plenty of bad people that go to church too.
SO, in conclusion, no, I don't believe that just because a person doesn't worship in church they are going to go to hell.

You can pass judgement, but you would be wrong to do so. You can also argue there is something spiritually wrong with people that continue to attend church but do so out of habit rather than devotion.

No. I go to church, but my mother doesn't. We are best friends and I understand her views well. She is a Christian, but has just had to many experiences with hypocrites in the church. She does come to church with me when she comes to visit me.

Matthew 6:5, 6, we read: "When you pray, you must not be as the hypocrites; because they like to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the broad ways to be visible to men. . . . You, however, when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you."
