‘They need to concentrate on the habitual fire and brimstone that awaits the end of their own lineage if they haven’t put their faith in Jesus Christ.’

They will answer for their relationship with God BC. I’m not the judge of souls, just a messenger of what the Bible warns for those who choose satan over Jesus. There’s no fence sitting (lukewarm)as Jesus says to the churches in the book of Revelation.
I had a very long time ago 2 NC college roommates that believed the same thing - no arguing with them ; their minds are set in stone.
IIUC, when Christ died He descended into Hell to offer sinners (that’s EVERYBODY) who had never known Him the opportunity to accept Him. Not those who knew but rejected Him. But some theologians do disagree, and frankly, I ain’t one!
1 Peter 3:18–20
This passage says: “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.”
