Well, the people in Acts did. Everyone fears the pain of death, but how they feel about after-life is a different matter.

Perhaps, it's because they fear death itself?
Not because they believe God is striking them dead.

It's a question, can you answer it?

When a person’s understanding becomes driven by hate, fear or extreme negative consequences.
There is no benefit, rather it’s an "I win, you lose" mentality.

Which is nothing less than "cruel and unusual" punishment.

Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
