...didn't claim that you would go ? to hell if you didn't believe Jesus was your savior, do you think you would still be a Christian?

I wasn't raised a Christian so that's that assumption squashed - not every Christian was. Also I'd be less inclined to believe if there wasn't a hell because of the bad people in the world and because of sin itself - what would be the point? There'd never be a time for them to face up to what they had done so it is very good to me that there is a hell. Anyway the gospel has been preached in all corners of the globe - I doubt there isn't anyone who has not heard it so yes I'd still be a Christian - it's God who calls us

I was half-heartedly raised a half-assed Christian, mainly just Christianity was what we wrote under 'religion' on the census paper that's about it. I now believe in the Christian God, entirely of my own accord. The belief in Hell as a punishment for sins is fundamental to Christianity, but I don't believe in Hell as a place after death.

So I guess for the first critieria it is Yes but the second it is no, because you wouldn't even be a Christian if you didn't believe in Hell.

To me it's irrelevant. If we are all following Gods will, then what does it matter?

Freedom of choice is there, and how we make our decisions is the only thing that counts - make wise ones

I was raised a Christian, I'm pretty content with the religion.

If Christianity didn't exist, I'd take up either Judaism, or Buddhism.
