What do Christians believe about the immortality of the soul and the justification for punishment?  Has hell been lost as a doctrine in the modern church?

In their second inter-Christian encounter James White and Roger and Faith Forster explain their different view of hell.  James White holds to an "eternal conscious torment" view - that those in hell are punished for all eternity.  Roger and Faith Forster believe in "conditional immortality" - that only those in Christ are granted eternal life and those who go to hell cease to exist.
