Everyone is a sinner. Nobody is perfect. A good and loving God wouldn't condemn anyone to Hell, especially if they actually believed in him.
The whole idea of Hell is pretty strange to me. It relies on God being evil and vengeful, punishing people and condemning them to suffer rather than forgiving them. How could you love a deity like that, let alone say that he was good? You might be scared of him and want to suck up to him so he didn't hurt you, but that's not love, it's fear.

I see you point with the loving God nand not sending people to hell. But think of it more in terms of a parent. If a child should misbehave does the parent love the child and let them go unpunished, or would they punish the child. Granted going to hell for eternity is a larger than this but it might help put God's love in perspective. God does love us all, but thoses who choses not to love God and obey his laws, are sent to hell.

We are all sinners.Not one of us isnt.Yet we can be forgiven if we truly repent.Can we lose our salvation? Indeed we can.We cant become a christian and then fall back into sin and then expect God to accept us into heaven Look at Hebrews 6: 4-7 It talks of the one who tasted the heavenly gift and then has fallen away.Only continued service to the Lord can retain salvation.

I don't belive it is if you ask God to forgive you or you sins but I am a Baptist :)

All people are sinners, whether Christian or not! All sinners do not go to hell. If you accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, he will forgive you of your sins.
