If you don't believe in the Bible, then I am concerned for you as to your fate.

The bold is your grievous error! The truth is He has given the anointing and the unction of the Holy Spirit to everyone who believes Jesus and accepts JESUS CHRIST as the Word of God NOT the Bible!!! It amazes me how capable we humans are of getting things completely twisted and convoluted.
“But now He commands all men everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30.
There is no limitation with respect to number or place, but all men everywhere are commanded to repent, reform.
Why is it in hell sinners are not permitted to repent?
If hell is anywhere,(yes, if) and if there are sinful men there, they are clearly commanded to repent?
If they are commanded to repent of course they are permitted to; and if they are permitted to, who on earth is authorized to say they will not?
It is said with great assurance, that there is no repentance in hell; and it seems to be taken for granted that this unqualified maxim is sufficiently authoritative to silence all further inquiry. This is a favorite hypothesis far from having any foundation to rest upon. It presumptuously assumes that God will punish his creatures for being wicked, and at the same time be unwilling that they should repent of their wickedness!
It is either true that those sinners ought to repent, or they ought not. If they ought to repent, then to say our Maker forbids, or hinders it, is to say he is unwilling His creatures should discharge their duty.
If they ought not to repent, it follows that, somehow or other, their obligation to do it is cancelled, and it is consequently right for them to continue in a state of impenitency forever.
Everlasting life is given to all men.
The apostle John says, “He that believes not God, has made him a liar, because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God has given us everlasting life; and this life is in his Son.” I John 5:10, 11.
God has given us everlasting life in Christ, all who believe this truth have the witness in themselves of the fact. Those who do not credit this truth – do not believe that God has given them everlasting life in Christ – make God a liar.
The conclusion then is all are to receive everlasting life through Jesus our Lord, as a gift from God. Rom. 6:22.
Hence Jesus Christ is declared the “Savior of the world,” John 4:42; I John 4:14, and it is written “that in Him does all fullness dwell,” Col. 1:19, and “that God is in Christ reconciling the world unto himself.” II Cor. 5:19.
Every knee, every mouth, every dimension declaring You are Lord
Every creature in a still wider antiphonal circle beyond the circle of angels (from κτιζω, for which see 1 Tim 4:4; James 1:18 ), from all the four great fields of life (in heaven, upon the earth, under the earth as in verse 3, which is from all created life
No created thing is left out.
This universal chorus of praise to Christ- concerning the sympathetic agony of creation (κτισις) in hope of freedom from the bondage of corruption.
If the trail of the serpent is on all creation, it will be ultimately thrown off.
