The message is pretty clear in Acts. We are not to be scared into Christ's arms. We are to come out of desire to be with Him. I don't throw out a doctrine because it's not "scary enough".
Yeah, I know. I don't either, and that is not what I would have you do. What I would have you do is to take up your cross, follow Christ, and become like God. Then, having a vision of God and the mind of Christ, it will become possible for you to know things as God knows them. This is necessary for all of us to do, because otherwise we see all things from a place of darkness, as with the eyes of the flesh and our fallen nature. Doctrines being fabricated from within the fallen rationale of such minds are of the darkness. "God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all".
The Orthodox Christian Way, if one chooses to accept it, draws you into a Life of self-denial and renunciation of the world, where you will strive with all our might to pray, discern God's will, and obey it
without ceasing. Following this narrow path, you acquire more and more of the Holy Spirit, or, as it is written "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.…" (2 Corinthians 3:18). It is only from within this place of Divine Light that we interpret Scripture.
This is the Way of sanctification, and illumination, and can even lead to spiritual perfection in Christ. None who have Lived in the blessed Way since Pentecost have ever taught that anyone should rule out the existence of everlasting punishment. We won't begin doing so now either. My humble advice is that you don't risk causing God's "little ones to stumble" by teaching anyone that they should rule out everlasting punishment, nor claim that Scripture proves it, because Scripture does not.
