I haven't been told I'm going to hell much.
The few times I have been told this I've took it as a joke, I think some of the time they were jokes from what I recall.
Some other times when people have tried to persuade me to join a religion with a vague threat of hell I have generally just thought to myself "Oh no, I'm talking to a nut job and this conversation is going to be annoying and boring"
When I was younger and went to a catholic school I believed whatever the adults told me about hell and so on, but then wondered why they didn't follow the bibles rules themselves so closely, I wasn't insulted by the threat of hell I was pretty scared by it and I always imagined my personal hell to be in a small box with no company and no one to talk to forever.
If I imagine how it would feel to be told this seriously by someone at the age I am now then it would just depend on who the person was, how the statement was presented to me and how I was feeling at the time.
If it was said in an arrogant condescending way I'd be insulted, but this is totally down to the fact I hate arrogant condescending ways of talking, nothing to do with the actual content of the threat.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
