For Christians who don't believe in Hell: What will happen to the devil, beast and false prophet?
A new popular opinion is that Hell isn't an eternal place of torment and punishment, because that would be too harsh for simply a lifetime of sin for man.
But Hell was made for the devil and his angels, where they and the beast and false prophet would eventually end up in the Lake of Fire (Matthew 25:4; Revelations 19:20; 20:10).
To say Hell was too harsh for man so it mustn't exist is to say it's also too harsh for these wicked persons.
So what is their ultimate fate?
The same as man, to live in a state of nothingness as per popular opinion?
I personally think it's the other way around, man will have the same fate as the devil, whose sin doesn't extend to a lifetime but to an eternity, just as the remission of sins and forgivess through Jesus Christ results in eternal life and reward.

Christians who don't believe in hell have not thoroughly read the Bible or at least Revelation 20. They just skim through certain passages to confirm what the pastor said in church. Notice these days hell and judgment are not preached anymore, the only thing they hear from the pulpit these days is how to solve your financial problems by planting a seed of faith. Christianity in America has become a hell of a con game.

Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
Is this the hellfire Christendom speaks about? No, for in the preceding verse, we read: Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:14
If hell is cast into the lake of fire, the lake cannot itself be hellfire.
Moreover, death is not something concrete that can be picked up and hurled somewhere.
So the lake of fire must be symbolic. Of what?
The Bible says: This is the second death. When death an Hades are hurled into the lake of fire, they die,” cease to exist.
Similarly, rebellious humans who end up there die, or cease to exist. This, though, is the second death, without hope of a resurrection.
