Revelation 21:8
Bible believing fundamentalists- please skip this post, as it's unsound and in error.
Revelation is Jewish apocalyptic writing, meaning that it's not to be read literally. It is a literary genre describing future real world events through imagery. An example of this would be Pharaoh and his cattle coming out of the Nile representing plenty then famine.
In short, this passage means something else. Plus it says they die, as opposed to live (in agony).
