I've repeatedly brought this up, in that Hell fire is not fire. To be consumed by hell fire simply describes the emotion/reaction evoked by a being engulfed by fire. It does not compare, as the panic, dread and out right fear one experiences in hell fire can not compare to fire, it is just the closest thing we have to compare.
I have also said many times the bible only says that satan and his followers/demons will be the ones who are hell's eternal residents. To experience such utter panic pain and fear over a period of time the thin line of sanity that keeps us from becoming a mass of raw unchecked negative emotions would disappear. All that we were would have been consumed by hell fire.
Whether our spiritual essence would remain after our consciousness was consumed really does not matter at that point, does it?
