Among orthodox teachings based on Scripture, there are two views on hell for humans. One is that one who rejects God. and specifically Jesus and His salvation, will be tormented in hell forever. The other view is that a rejector of God and Jesus and His salvation will be tormented in hell for a time and then be annihilated (perish, die forever, the second death.)
Some put forth the view that no one will be sent to hell because God will save everyone whether they believe or not. This is the doctrine of universal salvation and it has been refuted repeatedly over the centuries and is rejected as heresy in the main of church teaching since the beginning of the church through the centuries into present day.
And rick is right, the more important question is ow to avoid ending up there, and that question is answered by hearing (or reading) the gospel of salvation in and through Jesus because of His death, resurrection and ascension and believing it to be true and applicable to the hearer/reader. God works in those who hear/read the gospel to believe by offering grace to produce faith to believe. Accepting this gift of grace and faith will lead to believing the gospel and a trusting in Jesus as a Savior. This is where a conversion takes place and the Holy Spirit does this work of conversion in the believer, regenerating the spirit of the person and dwelling in the newly regenerated person forever.
So it is good for someone to desire to know what the gospel of Jesus is and how salvation is received. it is a matter of life with God and all His love and goodness forever or hell without God forever.
Hebrews 9:27-28,
Jude 1:1-25,
1 John 1:8-10
John 3:15-16,
