My mother tells me that they intended to get married before I was born but my father died in a road accident before they could get married.
What does this mean for me? I have been a good Christian, I pray everyday for our troops around the world fighting the Lord's war against the false religions but I am unsure as to whether I can stop myself from going to hell because of my parents failure to marry before my birth. I also don't agree with the fact my parents didn't wait until after they were married before they started a family.
Any help is much appreciated and I'm forever in your debt.

Your parents essentially had a "common law" marriage. If your parents weren't sleeping with other people and remained committed to each other monogamously until your father died, then there is no sin transferred to you.
Having said that, however, that's not a free ticket to heaven. You still need to do accept Christ as your savior, and read and follow the KJV1611 Bible, just like any other True Christian ™ aspirant.
