Is it being done properly? I am so devastated that I have absolutely no feelings for anyone. I am basically a sociopath. I try to act like a servant of God but my actions are machine-like. My heart is too damaged to grow close to anyone.
There are no signs that you've rejected God. You will not be allowed into Hell.
Rejecting God is the only way in. All other sins are forgiven.

Hmm....Would not that be the Taoist,Buddhist,Hindu theory of "Karma"? (A specifically non-Christian teaching)?

no, according to the origin of the doctrine of karma, namely the vedas, karma is just a part of a whole supposed system of (unrighteous) exploitation including the so-called: "maya" and its gods, "gunas", "samsara", "yugas", "kalpas", other suchlike things and, last but not less strange, supreme god that allows the souls to suffer for a whole enormous eternity, while the biblical doctrine of eternal judgment speaks of eternal circle of existence and positions of the souls due to the fact that there is a negative side of the divine called "darkness" and the true God is not merciless like that/those of the vedas...

there are no signs of a true God in the vedas

It's best to back up and look at what Scripture has to say about so-called "Hell." First of all, several holding cells, if you will, are mentioned in Scripture--and not one of them originally says "Hell." Gehenna, Tartarus, and Sheol--which has at least 40 different sections, three or four of them for Believers. Gehenna seems to be punishment for the self-righteous, and may be the same as the Lake of Fire which happens at the End. Tartarus is where the Fallen Angels are enchained until let loose for a season. Overall, though, there is no reason to ever fear Damnation if you love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And that's pretty much the bottom line.

So let's get this straight.
You say You are a Christian.But you don't believe God.
You don't believe the wicked perish
You don't believe God heals either I assume.
Is there anything about God You do believe?
And if he is lying about outer darkness how can you be sure of anything he says.
I do believe God heals, certainly. It is only hell I don't believe in. I do feel the wicked find themselves perishing in this life because of their wrong deeds. But I feel in death they are healed.

You speak another gospel.

Hello. I've been terrified of being sent to hell for a very long time now.

I don't know why I am. I have a Bible that I take very careful care of. It has no rips or tears or anything. I always put God first before anything and anyone. I know and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I believe in Him dying on the cross for all our sins. I accept that I sin and take full responsibility for it. I have asked for His forgiveness and totally feel He forgave me.

But what are the reasons I would be sent to hell? I have major anxiety about everything. It's truly really bothersome. So your answers will truly help reassure me, thank you. :D <3

Simply begin to trust GOD for your salvation and believe His word. Attaining to the salvation He gives is not our work. We must simply trust His word. I am sure that if you pray in faith to Him, that He will lift your un-natural fear of going to hell.

Have you tried? We insult GOD when we fail to trust Him. If you promise me something in sincerity and honestly and I doubt you and your promise - how would you feel?

Right..so you swayed to un belief.
Got it.

I am not sure which is what agnostic would mean when it comes to hell being a place of eternal torture. If hell is literal glad I am not going, if it is figurative and God has saved all souls, it will be glorious.

A true sociopath would not think this. They would not care they don't have feelings.

He has made salvation available to all
But not all will avail themselves of it.
Loving their own way more .they will perish.

I think biblically the only reason one goes to hell is for rejecting Jesus Christ.

I believe you can't lose your salvation. If you were sincere when you accepted the Lord....then you go to Heaven. If you keep his ways....then you get rewards there. I keep most his ways...but find it hard to be perfect.

There is much truth in this. Hell is full of volunteers only. It is for committing the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which most theologians describe as final impenitence—(that is dying in a state of unrepentance....loving the sinful life even unto death). Those who are eternally unrepentant, are of course quite happy with their sins, and have no internal sign of loving God and wishing the beatific vision eternally. Hell is a Mercy. They could not stand the light of God. They prefer darkness, and will be granted to be separated from the light and love of God, as they themselves have chosen throughout their lives. They must have been told the Gospel, understood it, and chosen by free will even with the knowledge of to turn against it with full intent. This doesn't really describe ANYONE who has accepted God and His free gift of grace. The good thief was unbaptised, (here again, not the norm or prescription, but God can do all things), didn't live a good Christian life, (though it is recommended strongly that you do, because it shows your love of God.....He will even give you grace to do so, if you ask). But he was still told by God Himself that he would enter paradise that very day. Why? Because when confronted with his own death, he was, in fact repentant and sorrowful for his sins. He acknowledged his sinful nature and even felt that his earthly punishment was just and deserved. He wasn't a whiner. But above all, he was sorry. He regretted his sins, and asked humbly that God remember him in the kingdom. The other their however, likely didn't get to see heaven, because he didn't really care about it or want it. He just wanted what he viewed as an escape artist or magician to save his miserable EARTHLY life. He turned down what could have been a grace from God. He didn't recognize, nor even want eternal life with God. He wanted only to be free of the cross to go on with a life of ugliness and sin.

Amen !!
I wish to add something but am in no way taking away from this.

There is the flip side to this as well.
Those folks who think being good enough or that their good out weighs their bad.
They tend to not commit to the ways of Christ and only think they know Jesus or that they won't see hell.

The Problem their is huge.....Their name is NOT in the Lambs Book of Life.
No Blood of Christ to blot out their sins.
No Reborn Spirit of God in them.
....Easy Term. .... No Entry Pass to Heaven.

Thank you for your post.

I believe you can't lose your salvation. If you were sincere when you accepted the Lord....then you go to Heaven. If you keep his ways....then you get rewards there. I keep most his ways...but find it hard to be perfect.

Hebrews 6:4-6
For it isimpossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put himto an open shame.

Our enemy the devil works 24/7/365 through deception and trickery to draw you out of the things of God.

You can get so far out that you push the Holy Spirit away and eventually He will leave. Then our enemy the devil leeds you to destruction and you don't have The Holy Spirit in you.

We can loose our salvation by ignoring and pushing away the Holy Spirit.

John 15:1-10
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branchthat beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and castthem into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

We can not just live as we please and obtain the promises of God.

Jesus said if you believe in me you will have eternal life. I take it he is not a liar.
James 2:17-20
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Just believing Jesus is real does not make you heaven bound.
You must become born again and walk in His ways.

There is a doctrine that says we do nothing and all is well because it's all been done for us already. That is False.

The only event in the NT that we do nothing because it's a free gift is becoming born again.

After that Everything Given to us Through Grace.....MUST.....be possessed or taken By Faith which means you will have to fight the good fight of faith and stand because you have an enemy the devil fighting against you.

Hell is filled with people who said they believed in Jesus and yet He never truly knew them

Well that contradicts what Charles Stanley says....I watched his service "Can we lose our Salvation." He says we can't. Here is link to the sermon.
