"who haven't accepted atonement for their sins." What happened to Jesus dying for all our sins, past and future?
You have to be dipped for that and accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior and if you don’t do those it doesn’t matter how good of a person u r. I’m going to hell
Ironically, if you believe in hell you're basically admitting to belief in God/some sort of afterlife. So you should probably get to the bottom of all that.
I never said I believe in hell. I said that my family has said that if someone commits suicide they go to hell
Sounds like their very insensitive way of saying "we love you and would rather you stick around a bit longer".
Baptism is not required in the Bible(though it's certainly encouraged). Roman Empire/Europe used it for citizenship so it got baked into the political version of Christianity.
Hold on. When you get dipped (I assume you mean christened), all the crap you did and will do is forgiven? That cant possibly be right. You still got a negative karma balance ;)
Yes that is what they believe. Karma unfortunately has nothing to do with it.
Let's just put it this way. If you do kill yourself, you lose the opportunity to fix Karma in this lifetime.
Lol I have excellent karma. And I am not going anytime soon at least as far as I know

Your "negative karma balance" gets payed for by Jesus blood. Not when you're baptized, when you believe. The judge takes your death sentence for you, payed in full, past and future.
so, all I can do is hope my belief is enough and I actually have no control? Strong believer but a total asshole gets away? Screw that! It makes life pointless. Karma makes more sense
To clarify, from Ephesians 1 "When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance."
Christian belief is binary. You do or you don't. You wouldn't(often or continually) be a total asshole if you believed.
How have you come by that knowledge?
Reading the Bible
Life is relative not absolute...
Sounds like a religious belief to me 😉
