RE: that those who are not redeemed are eventually destroyed.
If you are destroyed, how can you be tormented forever?
Revelation 20:10
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.

Literally, an extended torment into the ages of the ages (eis tous aionas ton aionon) is promised to Satan, the beast, and the false prophet (Rev. 20:10). Jesus speaks of the soul being destroyed in gehenna (Matt. 10:28).

This is about man, not the “devil”. And you quoted Revelation. It is one of my favorite books of the bible, but it is very, VERY symbolic in its language. I never use it as a primary proof of anything, but as supporting other biblical proofs.
I don’t believe churches are literal lamstands.
