Hello freeatlast,I would venture a guess that this person may have a shallow belief in Millennial Exclusion, which doctrine is forbidden to be taught on the board: see
here.
Probably the reason no response came was it may have been realized by this person that they mispoke, and if they will not respond with a presentation to verify their belief, and to give a sciptural presentation of their belief, it would be best to hope they have realized their error, and wish to let it go, that they might not compound it.
The understanding I get from the teaching of the men who teach Millennial Exclusion is that in an attempt to fortify a belief in eternal salvation, they try to reconcile passages that they do not understand with this doctrine, which is in error.
I cannot remember if it is the article which BB submits for consideration or another, but I have read that Charles Stanley, at least in part, holds a similar belief to this (which is disappointing...I have some recorded tapes of Stanley when he was younger, preaching on Conference Pulpit, and the man was a fire and brimstone preacher for sure...which is not a bad thing...lol).
Take a look at the article, then, you will probably be able to answer the OP, and have a better idea of where your antagonist is coming from. When we understand why someone believes something (which you could not do due to a lack of response), including odd doctrines such as this, we are forced to discover what scripture has to say on the subject.
It is not Hell in which they believe saved people will be cast, but sheol, or, hades. I think that this doctrine has surfaced over the centuries on a number of occasions, personally, so it is not unusual to run across people that believe this to be the case. Universal Salvation could work it's way into this line of belief as well.
Okay, hope that helps.
God bless.
