The obvious answer is mostly likely Yes, but, truth is, we don't
know for sure who is in hell, except for one person...Judas. How do we know? Because Jesus said he would be.
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. John 17:12
John 17 is Jesus' prayer before his arrest and, in the context of
this statement, he is talking about the apostles. So "the one doomed to destruction"
would be Judas. His life was doomed to
be destroyed. “Destruction” is not a
word associated with heaven, but hell.
Satan also will definitely be in hell, based on proof from the
Bible.
And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10
We know that the beast and the false prophet will be there too. God knows their unrepentant hearts will never
change.
So who goes to hell?
Whoever rejects God and refuses to accept Jesus Christ as their personal
savior for their sins. Hell is the place
for people who do not want to have an eternal relationship with God so God
separates them, not forcing them to be somewhere they don't want to be. Many of them are evil and mean, but many are
just plain stubborn and selfish.
Hitler's actions on earth certainly pointed to that rejection of
God and his commandments, but this question forces an even harder question:
Could Hitler be saved?
Only if he accepted Jesus Christ moments before his suicide. That seems unlikely, but it's possible. Remember, Jesus accepted the repentance of a thief
on the cross just moments before his death.
While his crime in no way compares to Hitler's, the point is the
same.
God is loving and when a person accepts Christ makes no
difference.
We, as humans, are not the judges for people's fates. We leave that in the fair and just hands of
God. While our judgments may be right,
they are in reality just guesses.
We can be pretty sure if someone is in heaven by the testimony of
their lips and the fruits of their life, but we really can’t know for sure.
Everyone has the chance up to the last minute of their final
breath to receive forgiveness...no matter how detestable their life was.
