People who do not believe the truth about Jesus, hypocrites who take from widow's, make long insincere prayers, those who blaspheme against the Lord, and those who take the Holy Communion unworthily, all people who do these things take the risk of being damned.
Jesus gives specific instructions that each of us should go into the world and preach the gospel to everyone (every creature). These instructions are to spread believe, be baptized, and preach the gospel.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

Jesus tells us we will be damned if we do not believe and get baptized

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16

Bible Verses About Damnation
There are three mentions in the New Testament which mention damnation and who will be damned by God. Hypocrites will receive a greater damnation than others. Specifically mentioned are hypocrites that take away from widow's homes or make long insincere prayers. Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost will most definitely put a person in a position that God never forgives and in danger of eternal damnation. The third mention of damnation is taking communion if you are not worthy of it. Communion is the ritual where bread and wine are served to represent the body and blood of Christ's sacrifice.
Definition of Damnation
According to Mirriam Webster Dictionary-The word damnation means "the act of damning : the state of being damned" In other words, if you are damned you are condemned by God which means you will suffer punishment for eternity if you are not saved and in some cases you may even suffer damnation for these things if you do them after you are saved.
