Have you been told you were going to Hell?

[Disciple4life]

I was told I was going to hell for wearing shorts that came down to my knees.

I was told I was going to hell for listening to contemporary Christian music. I admit it, I liked Michael W Smith, Amy Grant and Petra.

I was told I was going to hell If I did not believe that Acts 2:38 was the plan of salvation and that anybody who didn't follow it was damned to hell.

I was told that I was going to hell if I didn't follow the holiness standards and believe that anyone that didn't follow them were damned to hell.

Several times the person was giddy. They could not contain themselves. They were ecstatic about someone suffering for all eternity if they would not obey their words. Kind of seemed like the wrong spirit and a huge power trip.

Has any one else gone through this?

I was told several times by different men I was going to hell because I am a woman that carries the gospel...

Luke 19
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, “Master, rebuke thy disciples.”

40 And He answered and said unto them, “I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”

Yes, when we left the oneness sect that meant we were leaving the truth and therefore going to hell.

That's been over 20 years ago though so the 'you're going to hell' thingie has died down somewhat.

At first one is invited to taste and see that the Lord is good. Once hooked then everything is sin. For me it was the tithing of money. I was in violation of God's word. Of course the usual stuff like t.v.- facial hair, missing a service and the list goes on.

There needs to be alternatives to choose from. One may have to move to escape tyranny.

I remember that time well. For us, the "your going to hell!" part wasn't about leaving our specific church, rather the greater sin was "disobeying the man of gawd!" in the process.

Yes. But I'm thankful for it. Every time I've heard this said, I've examined my motives and tried to confess before God that I want my heart to be right. I've also had to rethink many things and make many adjustments. No man can know for sure... but if someone is sincerely concerned that I'm going to Hell and a brother or sister in the faith enough to tell me... I'm thankful.

There are better ways to say things than to scream it at the top of your lungs in the church parking lot. This is usually how it happens. I have never been sat down in kindness and love and been told that I need to reevaluate my life.

It takes a certain kind of spirit to tell someone that they are going to hell and laugh in their face because they are so happy.
