**A variant on this would teach that Hell is reserved only for the "most wicked"; the term is not specifically defined by those who teach it but is generally accepted to refer to persons who historically are considered evil (e.g., [[Nero]], [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Joseph Stalin]], [[MS-13]], [[Timothy McVeigh]], papal murderers of [[Waldensians|Waldensian Christians]], white supremacists who committed lynchings, direct murderers and torturers in the [[Holocaust]], [[Nanking Massacre]], etc.).

The teaching is frequently held by groups which dissent from both Roman Catholicism and contemporary mainline Protestantism (e.g., [[Seventh-Day Adventist]]s<ref>[https://www.adventist.org/beliefs/ Official Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church]. ''Seventh-day Adventist Church''.</ref> and [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]). However, with the decline of [[Biblical inerrancy]] in most mainline Christian denominations it has become prevalent there. But within evangelical, fundamentalist, and Pentecostal/charismatic groups (along with Catholic and Orthodox ones) it is still considered to be [[heretical]].
