Ah, that's the quote that I've heard from the Bible. And it brings us to the crux of my thinkings. It's not something I've brought myself to ask a Christian yet, but now's a good time.
Are all the rest of us non-Christians damned because we don't follow Jesus' teachings?
Jesus said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Heaven." Sorry, I don't have the reference for that one off the top of my head. I hope that answers your question somewhat, though. I don't get some sick feeling of satisfaction by pointing my finger at people and saying they're going to Hell -- although that's a common stereotype about Christians. Maybe that means I'm not a Christian!

I just believe what the Bible says, and try to follow its teachings. If you'd like to discuss anything further, feel free to PM me.
