So let me get this straight. . If a child dies before reaching some magic age of understanding then they get a free ticket up to heaven?
Even if they were born in a non-christian country and probably had a very small chance of ever even hearing about christ let alone believing in him because of being a product of their environment?
Yeah. . That's fair.
So really it's better to die young than even live in this life. Free ticket to heaven everybody! Now I really think abortion is a good thing.

In accordance with Scripture, if your interested in that kinda thing children under 2 years of age go directly to heaven, and all others b4 the age of accountabilty (some say 12 other 14) do not go through the judgement phase (which means sin is not imputed) but whether they go immediately or later is a question people have debated for centuries and I am not qualified to answer.
I spent a lot of time on what I thought was a funny answer for what makes the world go round and then wanted to add something but when I went back could not find that answer if you received that answer I would appreciate being informed perhaps on one of my questions please.

A child who is too young to know right from wrong will go straight to Heaven whether or not they live in a Christian home or have never heard a word about Jesus Christ.
It is not about them being so innocent as they are still born in sin. It is not about fairness. It is about God's grace. Hi is righteous and will do right, as has been said.
God does not cry for their shortened life but rather He joyfully welcomes them into Heaven.
It is better to die young before one knows that they are sinning that to live to be old and be rebellious against God.
It is better still to live to be old having repented, trusting in God's Word and appreciating God and all the goodness that He has given, both common grace and saving grace.
There are only 2 ways to live.

The tears of God is seen on the ones who grieve the death of his loved one. Just as His laughters are seen on the faces of happy children or a happy you. Heaven is the place where the innocent goes. For those who not see God in Himself will never see Him anywhere. Try finding Him first in your heart so you would know what He does. Have faith like child to see what he does to kids that die maybe have you will have the answer. Your experience of Him will never be like mine nor anyone else.

yes He cries.read John chapter 11 verse 35: "Jesus cried". he cried when his friend Lazarus died, when He saw his family criying, he was moved by their saddness.And this happened before the cross. When Jesus suffered before his death, I'm sure God suffered a lot to see His own beloved son suffering like this. he cannot but share people's grief when someone dies, especially when it's achild. I do not believe that someone's death is God's will, evil exists in this world and Satan tries to do everything to separate us from God. Suffering, pain and grief are some of his weapons, but Jesus won the great and supreme victory which is the victory over death. We gain everlasting life in Him. read the gospel and find out how Jesus talks about children: don't hurt them, those who hurt them should never have been born, be like them, the kingdom of God belongs like them. So, yes I believe children go to heaven.

I believe that God takes the child in his arms and hugs him or her. He comforts the child and most probably see that the child is placed in the care of other family member (grandparents or great grandparents) who are already in heaven. A child is pure at heart and soul, so of course he or she would go to heaven. It is very sad for all of the family and friends the child leaves behind and it is something they will never forget.

The official verdict for the purposes of American belief is that children go straight to Heaven according to John MacArthur, a baptist and well-respected Christian authority.

All kids die (most age through adulthood first). Almost everyone has to take another birth according to their karma from previous lives. Material nature works under God's direction. Why should He be perturbed?

i am a firm believer that a child is innocent until they can fully understand what the consequences of decisions are. therefore, i fully believe that all children who die before the age of accountability go straight to heaven. i believe God welcomes them with loving arms, and tells them how much He missed them and how proud of them He is.
