I do, and I am a Christian. I believe that because of what is written:
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. (John 3)
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20)
Now some people quibble about the Lake of Fire not being Hell. Well, there isn't much difference, the place is away from anything else. It is a place where God doesn't have to be. They are the condemned, and there will be no chance of getting out. So call it what you want, it sounds like Hell to me.

I'm not giving you any quotes. I will tell you that Christians are a wide and diverse group of people. Please do not think that there is one set of beliefs held by everyone. That would be as incorrect as believing stereotypes about races or nationalities. Some Christians believe that all non-Christians will go to hell, some don't.

Salvation is through Jesus Christ:
2 Timothy 3:15
15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Romans 1:16
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
1 Peter 1:9
9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
And their are many more passages that all say the same thing, salvation is for those who believe.

I look at it this way. I am a christian. If I am wrong... Oh well... I get to spend enternity in darkness like the rest of you. Life's over now let me rot. If I am right well That would be awesome. Either way I either end up breaking even or being happy.

I'm a christian and my denomination doesn't teach that. Only those that are truly beyond saving (think mass murderers) will go to a place like hell (we don't call it that either).
Besides, the main christian argument is that you can only be saved by Jesus. Well, haven't we all been saved by Jesus whether or not we accept it?

Read John 3. Read Revelation 20 and 21. Read 2 Thessalonians.
I could do this all day. Yes, Jesus said that unbelievers go to eternal hell.

Pretty much.
I think the jews might get a pass - since they stuck to the old covenant.
Though some christians think jews are headed to hell too.
Fortunately it's all nothing more than mythology.

My response to that is God is just. And I have to leave it at that.
If Mohandis Gandhi isn't in heaven, then I'm not so sure I want to be there either.
