Greg Bahnsen says hell is eternal and the people will be living forever in torment, but then he says the fire is a symbol bot literal Iss this correct or unorthodox or a debate issue?

I have had nightmares (while in a coma) in which I would wake from one tortuous situation into another and then another, and another for what seemed to be weeks. It was truly a terrifying experience.
I meant to add
that must had been a nasty experience are you ok now? can I ask about it?

Would anyone in Hell repent if given the chance? Or are the gates of Hell locked from the inside?

Good feedback. In fact I have often thought that if anyone actually could repent in Hell then they would know that they are exactly where they belong, for their sentence was justified.I have to agree with Thomas. I remember years ago Robert McGee (author of The Search for Significance) told me that people in hell wouldn't cry out to God even if they had the choice. It made me think long and hard and eventually this statement catapulted me into learning the doctrines of grace. People in hell wouldn't choose God because their heart is set against him. They hate God so much that they prefer the eternal torment before bowing a knee to the King of Kings. When I understood this, I began to understand election and so on and so on.
