 Off the top of my head I can't think of any "you all go to the same hell no matter what" ones, but some are close enough.

I think like Jehovah's Witnesses believe there is a preset number of people who will ever make it to heaven and it's only a few thousand (don't quote me, I'm going on memory)

I was raised by pretty strict Catholics who seem to think we're all full of sin all the time and basically you avoid hell by dying immediately after confession. Didn't die as a freshly baptized baby? Tough luck buddyI think like Jehovah's Witnesses believe there is a preset number of people who will ever make it to heaven and it's only a few thousand (don't quote me, I'm going on memory)

144,000 is the number. Everyone else stays on earth. It’s a bit more complicated than the 30 seconds I have left in my break to explain withI knew a Catholic kid that wore this weird talisman for lack of a better word with some saint on it because he believed if he died while wearing it he'd go to heaven because it basically had a "constant state of having just confessed" aura enchantment attached.

Or so he said, whole family was weird af, either drugs during pregnancy or inbreeding but they were on the left side of the bell curve for sureSpecifically when you die, you are dead. Like, dead dead. In the ground dead. You don't go up to a magical cloudy place in heaven, that's all made up over the centuries. The Bible doesn't really talk about it.

The Bible does say that after the apocalypse happens Jesus shows up on a horse with a heavenly army. (Revelation 19:11-16).

He captures the Antichrist and the Beast (666 guy) and throws them into "the fiery lake of burning sulfur." (Revelation 19:20).

Then Satan is captured after that, tosses him into the Abyss for 1000 years, then has to let Satan out again after 1000 years (isn't God omnipotent? Can't he, like... not?). (Revelation 20:2-3).

Anyway. After that's done everyone who got beheaded in the name of God and everyone who was around when the Antichrist showed up but chose not to follow the Antichrist all get resurrected. They all get to chill with Jesus in a special city for 1000 years. (Revelation 20:4-6)

After 1000 years Satan escapes and brings another army to attack Jesus' city, and then this time heaven rains down fire and Satan is thrown into the lake of sulfur that the others went into 1000 years before (why didn't that happen to begin with?). (Revelation 20:7-10)

Then everyone else gets resurrected, and you wait in a giant line while a guy looks up your name in a book. You get judged according to your deeds, and if you weren't good enough to make it into the book you get thrown into the same pit of fire that Satan, the Antichrist, and the Beast all got thrown into. (Revelation 20:12-15)

Then heaven and Earth are destroyed and God makes a new heaven that's on Earth. Everyone else burns in hell forever. (Revelation 21:1-8)Note how all that happens after the apocalypse. It all happens after the Four Horsemen and the plagues and sounding the seventh trumpet and the war in heaven etc. while all that happens, according to the actual Bible - you are dead.

People specifically don't get resurrected until after all that is over, with most not being resurrected until 1000 years afterward. And then if your name was in Jesus' book you get to chill in the new heaven with Jesus forever, and if you don't then you get to stay in hell forever. (Revelation 21:26-27)

There's a pop-culture idea of heaven being like this place you go to as soon as you die, and hell being around right this very second, etc. - but according to the Bible itself, that isn't true.

There are some pretty, uh, interesting interpretations which lean into the more pop-culture side (like Revelations all being allegorical, or things not happening in the order in which they are told, etc.) But the actual text says something different
