What do Pentecostal Christians believe will happen to non-Christians when they die?

Answer 1

== I imagine it depends on which Pentecostal church you ask. Different leaders may have different ideas. Since different people interpret The Bible differently, I would recommend studying it for yourself in addition to being a part of a body of believers. Many different people have different ideas. Seek the truth with a your heart trusting and desiring to be transformed into what God wants, and I believe you will find the answers you need to know, and God will reveal what he determines you should know. == The denominational doctrines that distinguish Pentecostal from other Christian denominations generally deal with the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, not salvation issues so it should not enter into "when they die" results. == Most Pentecostal Christians, whom I know, believe as the Bible indicates and as Christ said to Nicodemus: "He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Nicodemus later shows evidence of belief as he retrieves and buries the body of Christ off the Cross with Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus repeatedly warned about uncontrolled sin, if one didn't deal harshly with himself, that ultimately he would wind up in Hell, "where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." Matthew 5:29,30; 18:8,9; Mark 9:42-48. He indicated that the place non-believers go is to a place of torment, which has no escape nor remedy. Luke 16;19-31. Pentecostal Christians believe according to the Scriptures in 2 Corinthians 6:2, the remedy is now, by believing in Christ: "Behold, now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation." And, after death is Judgment, as in Hebrews 9:27: "And it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the Judgment."

Pentecostal Christians believe that God loved us and made the way possible for us to be rescued from the pains of Hell. As Christ had told Nicodemus in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (in Hell), but have everlasting life." By and large, Pentecostal Christians believe that God "sent' His Son (v17) so that the people of the world might be saved from the consequences of sin, of which Christians follow the Scriptures as being the eternal fires of Hell.
