No I don't believe this means you are going to hell.

Me either... but I'm just curious because I know that lots of debates happen about the topic. I don't think that I've ever seen someone flat out say "If you have sex, prepare to burn in hellfire"

Not me. I do believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin, but if the only people who got to heaven were those who made it through life without sinning, none of us would go to heaven.
No. That depends enitrely on the guilty parties.

I don't think I have heard that either to be honest and would be quite suprised for someone to say it.

How does it depend on the guilty parties whether they are going to hell? Do you mean if they don't seek forgivness?
If they have guilt, they have hell.

Methinks that is what Willy is saying
As to the OP... it is hard to be condemned to a place that does not exist regardless if one makes woopie before marriage.
Its a sin, but it isn't my place to judge whether someone is going to eternal dmanation, I have my own sins to worry about...
Not me; hell would be rather full if that was the case..................
We may be humans, but we are human animals - Our main drive is self preservation, and that is directly linked to sex.

No one goes to hell for loving too much. They go to hell for hating. It's not an "act" that condemns or justifies you: it's your heart.

Buttons* even for the people who do believe this, in the context of their belief people don't just burn in hellfire. Forgiveness is still part of their equation somewhere.
I take a different view myself. If there's any hell involved, it's on the part of any accidental progeny that have a lesser family life (or possibly no life) because their parents did not think ahead.
Some of the accidental dads out there paying to support children they have no relationship might consider their life hellish in some ways as well.
And I'd guess the moms might have some similar descriptions of their own.

It's definitely a means of entrance whereby demons can and will enter into your life..
Make no mistake about it, it's serious and sacred stuff, don't mess with it...

I'm a firm believer in consequences for actions. I think that if two people aren't ready to deal with those consequences, that they probably shouldn't have sex. However, I dont feel like anyone's going to hell cause of it.
It's a sin in most religions any way you slice it. If these two parties were in love, and didn't feel the need to apologize for what they've done. What then?

I had an Episcopalian girlfriend, just before I found my current LDS wife and she would say the same things, "Do you really believe, fill in the blank here ??? "
I nearly messed up my life listening to these types of questions and doubts.
Commandments are clear, no sex except with your husband or wife...
Jesus said, "No unclean thing shall enter into the kingdom of heaven"
