I was thinking about this. The christian girls who were kidnapped by boko haram who have converted to Islam, would they go to hell? I would assume the terrorists would make you say there is no god but Allah blah blah. You would deny Christ with your mouth at that point.. So would these girls go to hell for denying Jesus in front of man? Or does this verse only apply to certain situations?
That would be a judgment call. Also, when it comes to this word "hell", many have been taught in error about it.
Many believe that as soon as you die, its either heaven or some burning place called hell. That's just not the case; the Bible does not teach that. The surface English can throw a few people for a loop if their not the studying kind.
In the case of those women, as the scriptures state, they return to where they came from to begin with, from the start : that would be as Christ stated, Paradise . The state of the soul is decided there. That is illustrated with the image of a gulf in between those in good standing as appose to those in a poor state. Peter would teach this divide as a prison; for those who's souls are found having no redeeming value . Something to that effect.
But, there's no final judgment there. If you remember from Revelation, Judgment day dose not take place at someones death, it takes place after death at the end, of the Lord's Day.
