But Scripture is clear that Christians have been completely forgiven and made righteous to the core of their beings (2 Corinthians 5:21; Ezekiel 36:26-27). We have passed from death to life (John 5:24), and from judgment to freedom (Romans 8:1; John 5:24; John 6:47).<\/p>\n<p>Hell is a place reserved for those who have rejected the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:9; John 3:36; Revelation 14:10). Because we are God\u2019s children (1 John 3:1), we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6), and we will be with God forever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s Make It a Conversation!<br>\n<\/strong>1. Have you heard of people having near-death experiences and then claiming they saw Christians in Hell? Has this disturbed you? If so, how?<br>\n2. Should we build our beliefs systems on the dreams and experiences of others? Why or why not? If not, then what should we build them on?<br>\n3. How does the believer\u2019s total forgiveness (Hebrews 10:14) and their already being seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6) factor in here?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bible Question: Will some Christians be in hell? | Andrew Farley\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sP0iyIxqF68?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Answer:\u00a0Will some Christians be in Hell?\u00a0No, Hell is a place for fallen angels and those who have rejected the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Matthew 25:41, Revelation 14:10).
