Kobojunkie:
According to Jesus Christ Himself, only those who accept Him will have access to eternal life, meaning that those who do not accept him i.e. the unbelievers, do not have eternal life and hence will never have eternity either in Heaven or in Hell. This lines up with what is said in John 3 vs 16 that so many like to quote, those who do not accept Jesus Christ will simply die (their souls die too since after the fall of man, it was rendered mortal by God when He declared that man would go back to dust from whence He came). God repeated this message severally in the Bible, one such place being Ezekiel 18 where He again declares that the soul that sins must die (from even among His own Israel).

Jesus Christ came with the promise of Eternal life to those who will accept Him, leaving those who do not accept Him with the old decree of death and a return back to dust from whence they came.
Now for those who accept Jesus Christ, the ones who choose to live in disobedience of the law that is Jesus Christ, are the eternal souls that Jesus Christ stated will end up eternally punished in fire. These are the goats referred to in Matthew 25 vs 31-46. Only the sheep among them get to enter the kingdom of Heaven.

What am I trying to say here? It is probably best for you to die an unbeliever than to accept Jesus Christ and still end up in Hell when all is said and done. The unbelievers get to live out their life span on the planet and are no more. The one who accepts Jesus Christ but refuses to obey Him (that which He explicitly commands those who believe in Him to) might as well be hanging an eternal noose around his/her neck for the same of claiming 'eligibility'.

What are you talking about?
