   You are not a Christian. That's for certain. You deny Christ is God,   
   tell people their own death will atone for their sins even if they   
   reject Christ as Savior, that their own merits save them, and encourage   
   them they can escape eternal torment through annihilation even if they   
   reject Christ. You promote a false, "accursed" gospel that contradicts   
   the gospel the apostles preached (Galatians 1:8-9). You oppose and   
   contradict the truth of the gospel at every point. You will most   
   certainly suffer conscious, eternal torment in the lake of fire unless   
   God grants you repentance.   
      
   As for how we are supposed to address those who promote false gospels,   
   see Christ and Paul's example:   
      
    “But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,   
    looked intently at him and said, “You son of the devil, you   
    enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy,   
    will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the   
    Lord?” (Acts 13:9–10, ESV)   
      
    “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel   
    across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he   
    becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell   
    as yourselves.” (Matthew 23:15, ESV)   
      
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
