I need a serious answer please, what happens to children who aren't of the age of accountability during the Rapture?

If they have yet to reach the age of accountability, they are not accountable, and thus held blameless for any sin or transgression. They will therefore go to heaven, for in the eyes of the Lord they have done nothing wrong. God loves ALL children, not just those of the believers.
Mar 10:14 But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

If you have no knowledge of sin, do you really have anything to worry about? Sin is the breaking of God's laws so if you are not old enough to know what is right and wrong, you have no sin. By the way, where is Rapture in the bible? Can you tell me one place it is mentioned? The real meaning of rapture is joy or happiness. Yet, many will put the name on the Second Coming of Christ. Although it will be a very joyous time, the most happy of all that we have ever experienced, don't you think we should call it what it really is? The Second Coming of Jesus? Just a thought. Children are totally innocent, which is why Jesus said we need to be as children to enter into the Kingdom of God. We are the ones that should be worrying about if we are really doing what God said for His people to do which includes all ten of His commandments, not just nine as most churches teach.

I don't actually know, but I have faith that GOD will take the children under the age of reason to heaven, because they are innocent.
FREE WILL starts after the age of reason for this purpose, I think, because then the young adult starts to decide things for themselves right or wrong and what they decide is recorded in the book of life.
My son will be in heaven - I may not be, but I'm comforted that he will be.
Be at PEACE - I really think the rapture is a long way off. Enjoy watching your children grow, GOD is with you all.

Young children are not held accountable for their sins. But I must say as a Catholic I see no Biblical evidence for the Rapture. Christ will come back once.

Certain questions can not be answered by yahoo community authoritatively.For the correct answer you have to ask the concerned authority only.Thinkers may give opinions but they are opinions only and may not be the truth.For example the question why some babies are born poor and sick whereas some babies are born rich and healthy.Why God has discriminated babies for apparently no reason when all religions say that He is compassionate, merciful ,full of justice etc.

You aren't going to toss your kids out the window to spare them the rapture are you?
I sure hope not.
I don't think the rapture will get you. Just worry about making sure your kids grow up happy. They will make good decisions if you raise them to be good people.

If they are not of the age of accountability they will be taken on to Heaven. I have found, however, with my children that they have come to understand Jesus and Christianity early due to the environment that we raise them in. We read the Bible together, pray together, and go to church together. My son accepted Christ as his personal Savior when he was 6 and was baptized. He had a better understanding than most teenagers I know. Hang in there and pray fervently for your children --as mothers, if we don't pray for them, who is??

The question also is valid for children who die in infancy. No one knows for sure about anyone elses eternal state much less children. What we do know is God is a merciful God who works along family lines. Many children of believers are born again often from the womb even though they aren't of age to express it yet. What we know for sure is God is Just and good so it is our responsibility to commit our children to Him in prayer and be diligent in training them.
Acts 2:39
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

There is no such thing as the rapture. People flying up into the air to meet the Lord. Please go have a drink and forget about all of this nonsense. The Bible is not black and white. Your children will most likely die with you when we humans blow ourselves up or nuc ourselves with war.

First of f (read Rev!) the so-called rapture happens when Christ descends to earth as King of the earth.
That is after the tribulation, and basically you ascend high over the earth and descend with Christ back to earth!
Not much of anything. But those who do it are transfigured.
