Probable Future Status of Non-Believers in Christ |
|
Adventist |
Those who do not believe in nor have faith in Christ, do no accept His gift of life, will be eternally destroyed. There is no probation after death. |

Christian Scientist |
All will have everlasting life and will continue to experience good or bad according to their choices. This is all that is known, all else is only conjecture. |
Church of |
Jesus Christ, while disembodied, preached to obedient spirits and missionary labor continues there in the spirit world. Every tongue will confess that Jesus is the Christ. |
Disciples of Christ |
Divine mercy will determine the future status of those who died as non-believers in Christ. Therefore our members are not concerned as to any possible future status of these individuals. God will decide. |
Eastern Orthodox |
All non-believers in Christ will be condemned. |
Episcopalian |
The intermediate state of continual progression and discipline is to help us to become reconciled to God. This is because God is not willing to lose any. |
Jehovah's Witness |
Unrepentant sinners, along with the devil and his angels, will just "cease to exist." There is no hell, or place of punishment, because all of these wicked will be destroyed at Armageddon. |

There is no Pre-Mortal Existence of Man. Man begins to exist when he is born into this world. |

Those who have faith in Christ will be saved, and those that do not believe will suffer condemnation. |
Presbyterian |
Do not know. God will determine such. |
Quaker |
It is only speculation that there is any future place for either believers or non-believers in Christ. Belief in life after death or heaven and hell are only speculation. |
Unitarian |
There is nothing to be saved from as there is no hell, therefore there is no condemnation. Will be saved by our character. |
United Church of Christ |
The most important thing is how we live our lives, not what church we belong to. We are children of God and our status in the future is left up to God. |
