Christians do not believe Moses is in hell. They believe he died a faithful follower of Truth.

Depends on the Christian. Some believe that we all lie unconscious in our graves from death to the Final Coming. Some believe Heaven is achieved upon death and you don't have to wait for the final judgment. But most of them believe Moses was saved because the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross wiped out the sins of all observant Jews.

That is a GREAT question: it brings up the notion that "those who have not known Jesus, not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior" are either going to Limbo or Hell. There are all-too-many Christians who think that EVERYONE who EVER lived (or ever will live) who are not Christians are doomed.
What those poor misguided, misled, and/or prejudiced fools don't realize is that God/Yahweh/Allah (and all the other names that we humans give to God) is the ONLY One who knows what's in each person's heart and soul and mind. Humans who judge other humans are just plain WRONG.
Those who make it to Heaven will be good Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Muslims, etc. Bad Buddhists, Christians, Jews Zoroastrians, Muslims, etc., will NOT be in Heaven/Paradise/Nirvana/Valhalla (or whatever else people call their version of Heaven).
Being kind, honorable, truthful, compassionate, etc., are the keys to Heaven...NOT the decree by Jerry Falwell, Martin Luther, the Pope, Mullah Omar, Rabbi Manishewitz (or any other HUMAN) that ONLY a certain faith has that exclusive right.

If you are referring to the true meaning of the word, hell, then yes. Definition: The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohl′ and its Greek equivalent hai′des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge′en‧na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).

The book of Hebrews speaks of Moses being faithful.
Luke 9: About eight days after he said this, he took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying.
From these two references alone, I believe Moses is in heaven.

It depends on the definition of hell. No Christian who believes in hell fire would think this. But Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, do not believe in hell fire, and believe hell stands for the grave or death. And since Moses is dead......

I think they won't understand the question, unless you explain that Moses wasn't a Christian, which, according to most fundies, means he is in Hell.

ok ... I'd rather be in hell with Moses playing cards than answering this question!

that question is a waste of points.
However, first, was Moses real? and does hell really exist? or is it just an invention of the church to keep you under control?
The church contradicts itself calling God an all loving father, why would an all loving father send his children to hell? that just does not make any sense.

Well Moses did mistrust God, and God said that he would never enter into the Promised Land...so I'd have to say yes!
