The earlier 1872 and 1931 statements also support conditionalism</ref><ref>Samuele Bacchiocchi, "[http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/immortality_resurrection/6.htm Hell: Eternal Torment or Annihilation?] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150216040008/http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/immortality_resurrection/6.htm |date=16 February 2015 }}" chapter 6 in ''Immortality Or Resurrection?''. [[Biblical Perspectives]], 1997; {{ISBN|1-930987-12-9}}, {{ISBN|978-1-930987-12-8}}{{page needed|date=January 2014}}</ref> They deny the Catholic purgatory and teach that the dead lie in the grave until they are [[Last judgment|raised for a last judgment]], both the righteous and wicked await the resurrection at the [[Second Coming]]. Seventh-day Adventists believe that [[death]] is a state of [[Soul sleep|unconscious sleep]] until the resurrection. They base this belief on biblical texts such as {{Bibleverse||Ecclesiastes|9:5|NIV}} which states "the dead know nothing", and {{Bibleverse|1|Thessalonians|4:13–18|NIV}} which contains a description of the dead being raised from the [[Grave (burial)|grave]] at the second coming. These verses, it is argued, indicate that death is only a period or form of slumber.

Adventists teach that the resurrection of the righteous will take place shortly after the second coming of [[Jesus]], as described in Revelation 20:4–6 that follows Revelation 19:11–16, whereas the resurrection of the wicked will occur after the [[millennialism|millennium]], as described in Revelation 20:5 and 20:12–13 that follow Revelation 20:4 and 6–7, though Revelation 20:12–13 and 15 actually describe a ''mixture'' of saved and condemned people being raised from the dead and judged. Adventists reject the traditional doctrine of hell as a state of everlasting conscious torment, believing instead that the wicked will be permanently destroyed after the millennium by the [[lake of fire]], which is called 'the [[second death]]' in Revelation 20:14.

Those Adventist doctrines about death and hell reflect an underlying belief in: (a) conditional immortality (or conditionalism), as opposed to the [[immortality]] of the [[soul]]; and (b) the [[Christian anthropology|monistic nature]] of [[human beings]], in which the soul is not separable from the body, as opposed to [[bipartite (theology)|bipartite]] or [[tripartite (theology)|tripartite]] conceptions, in which the soul is separable.

[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] hold that the soul ceases to exist when the person dies<ref name="bibleteach">"What Does the Bible Really Teach?", 2005, Published by Jehovah's Witnesses</ref> and therefore that hell (Sheol or Hades) is a state of non-existence.<ref name="bibleteach" /> In their theology, Gehenna differs from Sheol or Hades in that it holds no hope of a resurrection.<ref name="bibleteach" /> Tartarus is held to be the metaphorical state of debasement of the fallen angels between the time of their moral fall (Genesis chapter 6) until their post-millennial destruction along with Satan (Revelation chapter 20).<ref>"Insight on the scriptures, Volume 2", 1988, Published by Jehovah's Witnesses.</ref>

[[Bible Student movement|Bible Students]] and [[Christadelphians]] also believe in annihilationism.

[[Christian Universalism|Christian Universalists]] believe in [[universal reconciliation]], the belief that all human souls will be eventually reconciled with God and admitted to heaven.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/chr-univ.html |title=What is Christian Universalism? |access-date=17 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171122135418/http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/chr-univ.html |archive-date=22 November 2017 }} What is Christian Universalism by Ken Allen Th.D</ref> This belief is held by some [[Unitarian Universalism|Unitarian-Universalists]].<ref>''New Bible Dictionary'', "Hell", InterVarsity Press, 1996.</ref><ref>''New Dictionary of Biblical Theology'', "Hell", InterVarsity Press, 2000.</ref><ref>[[Evangelical Alliance]] Commission on Truth and Unity Among Evangelicals, ''The Nature of Hell'', Paternoster, 2000.</ref>

According to [[Emanuel Swedenborg]]'s [[Second Coming]] [[Christianity|Christian]] revelation, hell exists because evil people want it.<ref>Swedenborg, E.

Hell is therefore believed to be a place of happiness for the souls which delight in evilness.<ref>offTheLeftEye: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpCWOpiTVds&t=2507s The Good Thing About Hell - Swedenborg and Life], YouTube, 14 March 2016.</ref>

Members of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) teach that hell is a state between death and resurrection, in which those spirits who did not repent while on earth must suffer for their own sins (Doctrine and Covenants 19:15–17<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/19?lang=eng|title=Doctrine and Covenants 19}}</ref>). After that, only the [[Son of perdition (Mormonism)|Sons of perdition]], who committed the [[Eternal sin]], would be cast into [[Outer darkness]]. However, according to Mormon faith, committing the Eternal sin requires so much knowledge that most persons cannot do this.<ref>[[Spencer W. Kimball]]: The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 123.</ref> [[Satan]] and [[Cain]] are counted as examples of Sons of perdition.
