The premise of the op is in question and remains unproven as of yet. Further, there has been no attempt made to support the premise of the op. It is merely assumed.
This is the problem Van desires to contend, but from a different perspective,
that some can actually prevent others from entering the Kingdom of Heaven.
The doctrines of grace cannot rest upon what man can and cannot do.
Nor do the Scriptures allow for condemnation of those in Christ upon what man can and cannot do.
I also agree that dispensational thinking has nothing to do with how one preaches on hell.
English translations historically translate two Greek words as "hell."
The first is Hades, where the human spirits of the lost go after physical death, and second is Gehenna, where, presumably, the lake of fire exists.
Two very different places, so to translate them as the same place creates confusion.
If your bible says "hell" you need to put "H' next to it when the actual text reads Hades, and put a "G" next to it when the actual text reads Gehenna.
This thread is very much a bait and switch thread, with its title speaking about dispensationalism, but the thread simply smearing the concept with a guilt by association unsupported assertion.
A big problem with Traditional Dispensationalism is that both groups, believing Jews, and believing Gentiles, are on group under the New Covenant.
See Galatians chapter 3 if you do not understand this truth.
Now if you want to argue for Covenant Theology over and against progressive dispensationalism, have at it.

9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
What part of "I'm very aware of Bunyan's words" do you not understand?
The rest of this post makes no sense whatsoever.
If I'm elect, I don't have to be involved in hell.
Please stop condescending.
No one is telling you that you can't preach about hell.
However, Hellfire and damnation hardly makes anyone want to embrace the Savior.
Now back to your OP.
Do you have any scriptural support regarding your statement?
"This weakness seems to be mostly in Dispensationalist churches, yet as a FB poster testifies not in Reformed churches. Many will go to Hell because so few will preach on it, and warn others of the fire that awaits them!"
How EXACTLY did you determine what Dispensationalist churches don't preach hell?
Do you have some statistics, or personal research that demonstrates this claim is accurate?
Where in the Bible does it say people can go to hell because of what another person did or did not say?
Chapter and verse please.
Also a single use of Tartarus, “God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartarus), and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment . . .” (2 Pet. 2:4). The word in Greek culture and literature means "a deep pit." It usually refers to a place of severe torment.
I am not interested in your words, because you have no foundation.
I doubt very seriously that Ray Comfort would approve of the things you have said.
Want to find out?
You're starting to sound desperate!
I've been warned that you don't want to quote scripture.
This explains why you cannot provide any scripture to support your egregious statements.
You produced the OP.
It is YOUR burden of proof, not mine.
