Gnosticism and sneaky wording

There is a difference between a claim being true and stating that if someone does not believe a claim is true upon the moment of death they will go to Hell after they die.  Below is a list of claims that are not equivalent to one another however people often confuse the types of claims.  I give many examples below.  There are also different definitions of the word believe.  Changing around the definition of the word believe can be used to make people afraid of going to Hell for accessing the wrong information and changing what claims they believe.  Consider the adjectives, verbs, prepositions, articles and any other qualifying words and phrases next to the word believe when you read verses in the Bible also consider the tense the word believe is conjugated into and the fact that the Bible is translated from another language if and when you read it in English so as not to fall for these kinds of traps.
