Unless you are referring about the grave there is no one in Hell Fire now.

Although the rich man's body was buried somewhere, the part of him that was in hell/hades/sheol experienced thirst, memory, torment from flames, regret, and fear for his brothers who were still alive. reference Luke 16:19-31

I realize there are differences of opinion among Christians as to how much of this is a parable and how much is symbolic imagery. Check out http://home.att.net/~jrd/Where_Are_the_Dead.gif
for a chart that shows how the late Bro. S.G. Norris (founder of the Apostolic Bible Institute in St. Paul, MN) taught this. Bro.Frank Curts, who was my (UPC) pastor for several years taught "soul sleep." He believed that from death to the first or second resurrection, the soul and body were asleep and experienced no sensation. He taught that the story of Lazarus and the rich man was a parable about the position of Jews (rich man) and Gentiles (Lazarus).

I tend to agree with Elder Norris. Bishop Haywood also taught this. The last line is interesting.

I agree with his thoughts on hell in the chart, that is biblical. But I do no agree with hardly anything else on his chart except the Lord was crucified. lol

I couldn't read it but knowing what Bishop Haywood taught I guessed pretty good at what it was saying.

I'm with you on this. I don't want any part of of me to go to hell either.

Well, the chart includes the "holy, righteous, and wicked" teaching and is controversial.

Bro. Norris taught that hades was like jail, the judgment seat was the trial, and the lake of fire was the penitentiary. A person who was lost was held in jail until the trial where he received his sentence. He taught (if I remember correctly) that Abraham's bosom became the third heaven/paradise after the resurrection of Jesus.

Matt. 10:28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
