I won't go into detail about their teachings except to say they do teach contrary to the bible.

But to answer your question, all sin leads to death and eternal punishment in Hell. The greatest of these sins is to reject The Holy Spirit who tries to lead us to faith in Jeus as our Savior. All sins can be forgiven but this, because by holding on to this sin we are rejecting our only way to faith and salvation.

These verses show that, but its hard teaching for us to understand.

Mt 12:31 And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Mt 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
What about receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost like they did on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 38-39, Acts 10:42-48, Acts 19:1-6)?

What kind of child goes to thier birthday party of which thier Father prepared them and they say: "I accept you Father, but the person willingly leaves the gift on the table?" In essence the person is still rejecting their Father. And, this is how a lot of supposed to be Christians say they "accept Jesus" or say "I love you Jesus," and yet they willingly reject the gift.

Have you ever fully repented of your sins. Repentence is not just saying "I love you Jesus," "I accept you," or "I believe in God." Repentence is an acknowledgement of your sins, Godly sorrow, a contrite heart, and willingness to submit to the Holy Ghost to change thier ways (Psalm 51). Unfortunately, many have watered down the gospel to what is [written] on a page rather than a gospel that transforms lives.

Another thing, have you ever been baptized in Jesus' Name for the Remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:1-6, Romans 6:3-6, Gal. 3:27)? Remember, is not the Acts of the Apostles inspired by the Holy Ghost. And, the councils made Acts part of the canon because all books had to be seen as a work to be used for doctrine.

God Bless, Hope this helps some more.

As all of us who have already posted answers to your question have said, salvation depends solely on your relationship with Christ. If He is your personal Savior, then you are saved and will not go to hell, even if you die before the Rapture.

Hades/Gehenna used to be a single place (somewhere below the surface of the earth). That place was divided into two parts, separated by a great chasm. One side was called hades or the place of torment. The other side was called "Aabraham's Bosom which was a place of contentment. (see the parable of Lazurus, the beggar).

When Christ died and descended into that place He testified to the residents, all of them, and then at His resurrection and ascension He took those residents of "Abraham's bosom" with Him to heaven, where they are now. Christ also took the keys to that place with Him. Remember the thief who was told by Christ that "Today you will be with me in Paradise". When we die, as believers, we go to be with Christ where we reside until He comes again to earth. We come back with Him as His Bride.

Believers have no reason to fear death as we simply go to a far better place. Remember also that Paul said to die and be with Christ (paraphrased) was preferred to life here, but he stayed until he was killed by Rome.
