Yes, I do believe they are. They do not believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. They also reject justification by faith alone (they add their own works to the gift of salvation bought by Christ). You cannot reject the deity of Christ and the free justification of the sinner to be considered a true Christian.

According to the Bible, yes. For the reasons you outlined above. That is not a judgement, it is simply repeating what God has stated.

I'm glad we only have to answer to God and not to you.
I'm glad the bible doesn't agree with you.
I'm glad we have the truth.
See how easy it is to make statements.
See how easy it is to have opinions.
Rev ch. 3: 1-5 Jesus said because of their deeds, he was taking their name out of the book of life.
He further stated if they didn't repent of their deeds, they would remain out of the book of life.
Repentence is a work necessary for salvation.
Faith is a work necessary for salvation.
Love is a work necessary for salvation.
If we stop repenting there is no salvation
If we lose faith there is no salvation
If we don't love God and his Son, there is no salvation.

I am a witness and we jehovah witnesses r not going to hell and as far as jesus goes he is the son of Jehovah. John 3:17 reads "For GOD (Jehovah) sent forth his son (Jesus) into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved, through him."

Have you ever heard of "judge not, lest you be judged"? Just curious, because you seem to be damning an entire group of individuals basd on your personal belief system. I'm not a JW, by the way, but I do believe that we are to love all people. I would think you would be concerned about your own afterlife than anyone else's.

God has not appointed you judge over a persons heart, let alone an entire denomination's. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness, and I refuse to defend anyone. I'm interested in you being in heaven as much as I want myself and my family to be also. Please, prayerfully consider that no one is another's judge when we are all fallen short of God's Glory.
God Bless You

You're all very different.
It is strange that, if Jesus is consistent, and that Christians have a personal relationship with him, how they can all be informed of different ideas.
Doe's he say one thing to one person, and another to someone else?
Or is it possible that Christians are speaking of themselves, whilst sustaining the delusion that it is Jesus.
Makes you think the whole thing might be made up.

Why did you ask a question and then answer it for yourself?
The Bible is very clear on this subject. Anyone who doesn't believe in the saving work of Jesus on the cross will go to hell. That goes for everyone no matter what "religion" they claim to be. This is not the words of person but this is what the Word of God says.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 John 5:9-13 - If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Acts 16:30-32 - And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
1. No one is good enough. "There is no one righteous, not even one;" - Romans 3:10 2. You are a sinner. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23 3. God loves us, even though we are sinners. "But God demonstrates His Love for us, in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 4. The provision - God's Gift. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23 "For it is by the grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9 5. There must be repentance of sin (turning away from sin). "Repent and believe the Good News!" - Mark 1:15 6. The required action - believe and confess. "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." - Romans 10:9-10 7. The result - Salvation. "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED." - Romans 10:13 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

It is not our place to judge these people. They will be judged by God for what they have done. See the verses from the New Testament (KJV) below:
