From my reading of the New Testament as far as I know it, the only thing I am confused about is wheter those whose names are not written not in the "book of life" are either destroyed completely or suffer in the "lake of fire" forever.

I thin the reason some evangelicals are reconsider the whole doctrine of eternal punishment is because the whole notion is deeply offensive to many non-christians, because it basically states if you do not confess Jesus as Lord you are going to suffer a truly horrible punishment for all eternity.
