If so. How is that fare? I wish i was killed as a child as i wouldnt have to be put through this tribulation, its a fast pass to heaven. And if its limbo/purgatory, hows that fare? how come i dont get the same oppertunity to go to heaven as the rest. And if you do go to limbo/purgatory thats even less fare. Now that you realise that life after death is fact, that proves god, so i will have no doubt in god and becoming becoming a believer is simple.
now if you say you get reborn/reincarnated that doesnt seem fare as well. So now you get another oppurtunity at the cost of some one being a murderer though. If your just reborn, shouldnt this persons crime against man be less severe since he really didnt cut any ones life short, he just put it some where else. (this last argument sounds weak, as i cant explain it well. Heheh please dont use this one as the counter argument ;D )

NO! Thats a very arogant answer you gave me. First off your answer does not try and describe this conundrum. Your saying the babys purpose in life is to die at a young age. Then it goes to heaven. Im saying, that isnt fare. How come this kid gets it easy. They dont have to look at both sides of the field, attain faith, go through hardships of life that may lead away from God. It just won the universal lotto according to you. Some people get to be a part of a special part of gods plan, therefore dont have to choose between god or lack of.
Please, dont call me ignorant, and open your damn mind.

The age of acountability is generally accepted to be around 12. This is when a person is supposed to have learned the diffence between right and wrong and be able to make decisions using that logic.
Only God knows where a person is in their decision making development. Based on this, I would imagine most children get a pass into heaven. The same would go for the mentally ill, insane, and derranged.
The great thing about God is that He is perfect and cannot make a wrong decision. He knows.

It's called the age of accountability, the bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But children are too young to understand their sin so how can they be judged? Adults on the other hand are given a choice, we can accept that we are sinners and accept God's forgiveness or choose to go our own way and accept the consequences, For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. So now the ball is in your court!

You talk about 'fair' in alot of your rationale. Fair who said life was fair? Or even had to be? Alot of the rules are based on man made rules for an afterlife experience no one really fully understands. The idea behind children being christened or baptized was supposed to gaurantee their 'closeness to god' to avoid limbo. They go 'straight to heaven' as they are believed to be innocents and free of sin. By the same thinking if you continue to be the same way then it is 'fair' to say you'll go to heaven. If children are sinners then they should goto hell, but it depends whether you subscribe to the innocence principle or not.
The short answer to the question is the 'fairness' comes from your belief in sin!

Any child under the age of 13 is not responsible for their sins,
I believe there are several different plains in afterlife, the way you live your life on earth is how you will live and be treated on the other side. If you were a good person you will be with the good people on the other side.
I'm no expert, just stating my opinion.

The reason for your confusion is that none of it is real. It is all fairy tales that were made up by a powerful group of political hustlers back in the day to keep people in line and keep control of their lives and their actions. No heaven. No hell. Just science and logic. The sheep became followers, never having an original thought or using their head because "god was gonna take care of it". Excuses.
When you die, you become worm dirt.

Did Christ get a free pass to heaven, or did he have to wait until his Father resurrected him? Is any child greater than him? Did the children of Sodom, or the fallen angels get a free pass?

In line with islamic teaching all children who died before grown up will go to heaven bacause they had no sin.They are like a white paper.They will welcome their parents if they go to heaven too..Human will has sin since he/she is grown up.So we should not get misery if our child be brought back by Allah as his/her creator..The child is given to us as a test.He/she and also ourselves are owned by Allah the only one God.
