I don't think we should be telling anyone their going to hell anyways. We can warn them about hell, but I don't think we should be making predictions about someone else's eternity. If people only serve God for fear of hell it probably will not last long. I got in church for a better life, and not a better eternity (that is just icing on the cake). When people find it a joy to walk with Jesus there is no standards needed. The purpose of laws are not for those that are lawful, but for the lawless. If anything goes then people could come in and make faulty conversions and cause a lot of confusion. On the flop side we have some pharisee attitudes in the church.
