Amen indeed
“For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”

A preacher like Peter is doing preaching is merely sharing the Gospel. It's the hearing the Gospel that Paul writes causes Faith so people hearing can believe in what is preached. Whether you like it or not, that's hard core Biblical Truth. Hearing the Gospel brings Faith to believe. But you cannot hear until someone preaches.

70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. John 6. Slo the son of perdition, "a devil" according to Jesus was drawn to him for salvation. Maybe you don't believe Jesus?
Amen.
Jesus said so himself. Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:7-8.

Christ in his own person is the very embodiment and fountain of salvation.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:12.
There is only one manner in which sinners become partakers of the grace of Christ. Men receive none of the benefits of Christ's redeeming work as long as Christ is outside of them and they remain separate from Him. They must have a vital communion with him in order to have salvation. And how can it be otherwise?
Scripture speaks time and time again of Jessus' true disciples, that is those in whome the process of salvation is taking place, as being in a mystical union with Christ as close as the union which exists between a vine and branches. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5.
my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! Gal 4:19.
I believe scripture teaches. it is quite impossible for men to enguage in any saving good unless there is a living bond between them and Him who declared: ........... for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

Faith, hope, and love, which are the three great requisites for salvation on the part of man, all find their source in the organic fellowship established by the Holy Spirit between the Savior and the elect in the moment of regeneration, that is on the very threshold of the Christian life.

And again, it must be said that it is the mystical union with Christ, which maintains faith, hope, and love in the hearts of God's people since it is out of the fullness of Christ that they receive even grace for grace. For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16.

“I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ( Jesus baptism )
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ( John 3:35)
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
Psalm 2:7-12 KJV
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:27-30 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:51

What did Jesus say or where did Jesus say Judas is in hell for eternality.
we see Jesus said here:
Mark 14:18-21
And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
I don't see where is says Judas went to hell or is in hell.
