The point you made here is IF. It is a logical statement in the form of IF this , THEN that. So IF it is original sin, THEN....babies.... .We humans can believe what we want because we are smart enough to defend any position we take. But we have to be catreful about what position we take because we are thinking, feeling, reasoning creatures and therefore cannot be arbiterary in our beliefs.
Some philosophers and thinkers have suggested that the fall from paradise or grace is symbolic of the descend of man from his primeval but lofty position of divine reality and his sole purpose is to reclaim his spirirual destiny.

NOO,... All Children Go to Heaven, because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.
Baptizm does not save a child, he did not make the desicion, the bible says, all were baptized and repented of their sins. Are you telling me that If a child is born "stillborn" he will suffer in Hell? No. He will go to Heaven.
Onces a child has the ability to understand, commit and accept Jesus Christ he is held responsible for his actions.
you will not punish a 2 year old for doing something he is not supposed to, however a 13 year old has understanding of what is right and what is wrong.
God is not going to judge us for something that is not known. Kids are innocent, and until they are able to understand the word that is given to them, they are not held accountable.

Original sin is just one more example of something not all Christians agree on. Sounds like a real air-tight, inerrant belief system huh?

You are Confusing the RESULT's of Adam's Sin with Sinning.
When Adam Committed HIGH TREASON (the Original Sin), it Messed-Up Adam's Spirit.
He passed this Messed-Up Spirit to Everybody Else.
This Messed-Up Spirit has to be Recreated (Born-Again) in order to make it to Heaven.
Every Human Being Below the Age of Accountability that Leave's the EARTH for Good get's their Spirit RECREATED and is Taken to Heaven.
Hope this helps.

ROFLMAO
Original sin only give us this world the way it is!
No sin of any father is passed to any descendant!
unless one reaches the age of accountability they are not accountable for there sins (may be the parent)
so a baby that dies goes to heaven.

That's why babies get baptized and christened.. to expel the original sin from Adam and Eve

No. There is one sin only that will keep you out of heaven, Thats rejecting the salvation plan, so babies cant do that, they cant understand. And since Jesus died for all, his sacrifice would cover them. Its compliocated, but easy to understand. Do the research.

Actually even though we are all born with original sin, babies are exempt from the punishments for it. They're considered innocents.

No they are under the age of accountability. In other words they are not old enough to understand that they need salvation.

Children go to Heaven until they reach the "age of accountability", then it is up to them if they want to accept Jesus as their personal saviour.
