Babies in heaven, but don't they have to make that choice?

Question

babies are born with the free will that everyone else has. Later in heaven they can turn from God just like the angles did. So is it possible that babies are ressurected during the millinium. Then they grow up and learn about God. Then in the very end times they have to make the choice. Has anyone heard of this before???

Answer 1

No, this theory is totally false. My opinion or theory is their are some souls that are just too good to live in this world.

Answer 2

No never heard of this before and it is not possible. God is the one who decides where humans go. Babies are innocent and until a certain age the Parents choose which way their babies are brought up. As the baby gets older, then the free will be his/hers. The age of twelve a child makes their own decisions on which way they should go. When small Babies die, they will be with God. Babies in Heaven, will be eternally in the arms of God. God makes the decisions on where we go when we die.

Answer 3

I believe that before babies reach the age of reason, their parents are the "spokespeople," so to speak, for them. That is why it is very important that a child's parents get him or her baptized as soon as possible after birth, in case the child should die suddenly and risk missing heaven. No small mistake on the parent's side if that were the case!

It is the parents' responsibility not only to have the children, but to bring them up well also; to help give them back to God! He gives them this duty, and all the graces are there for them for the asking!!!

Answer 4

Oh yeah.
i have seen the spirits of the parentless, and i see them naked and without clothes and dirty.
i think i even saw little gold globes flying around with very loud noises that hurt as they flew by. there is a painting of these, thereare other paintings of little angels looking like babies that jsut fly around.
Most people will NOT choose to serve SATAN, only the sons of perdition will not bow their knees unto God!
you would be surprised how many goth's would humble themselves before god and repent of their way if they knew the truth!

Answer 5

Babies will have a resurrection on earth when Armegeddon is over and have an opportunity to know God.
When the dead will hear the voice of God calling them from the memorial tombs and the resurrect the righteous and unrighteous.

Answer 6

No. I haven't heard about this. I probably think that babies will grow up in heaven and probably will make a choice. I really never thought about it. I will have to read up about it.

Answer 7

Babies do and don't have free will, not as long as their parent cares for them, and if they can't ..... God takes over, even young children, if they die...... they go to heaven, they haven't learned enough to grasp all they need to understand, God cares, he's compassionate.

Answer 8

Why would you worry about something like that? I lost 2 sisters as infants, I know they are in paradise. They were spared the disgusting sin of this world.

Answer 9

Nope. baby's are considered innocent and free of original sin. God gives thy mercy.

Answer 10

The Bible tells us that even if an infant or child has not committed personal sin, all people, including infants and children, are guilty before God because of inherited and imputed sin. Inherited sin is that which is passed on from our parents. In Psalm 51:5, David wrote, "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me." David recognized that even at conception, he was a sinner. The very sad fact that infants sometimes die demonstrates that even infants are impacted by Adam’s sin, since physical and spiritual death were the results of Adam's original sin.
Each person, infant or adult, stands guilty before God; each person has offended the holiness of God. The only way that God can be just and at the same time declare a person righteous is for that person to have received forgiveness by faith in Christ. Christ is the only way. John 14:6 records what Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." Also, Peter stated in Acts 4:12, "there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." Salvation is an individual choice.
What about babies and young children who never reach the ability to make this individual choice? The “age of accountability” is a concept that teaches those who die before reaching the “age of accountability” are automatically saved, by God’s grace and mercy. The “age of accountability” is a belief that God saves all those who die before reaching the ability to make a decision for or against Christ. Thirteen is the most common number given for the age of accountability based on the Jewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13. However, the Bible gives no direct support to the age of 13 always being the age of accountability. It likely varies from child to child. A child has passed the age of accountability once he or she is capable of making a faith decision for or against Christ.
With the above in mind, also consider the following: Christ's death is presented as sufficient for all of mankind. First John 2:2 says Jesus "is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." This verse is clear that Jesus' death was sufficient for all sins, not just the sins of those who specifically have come to Him in faith. The fact that Christ's death was sufficient for all sin would allow the possibility of God applying that payment to those who were never capable of believing.
The one passage that seems to identify with this topic more than any other is 2 Samuel 12:21-23. The context of these verses is that King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, with a resulting pregnancy. The prophet Nathan was sent by the Lord to inform David that because of his sin, the Lord would take the child in death. David responded to this by grieving, mourning, and praying for the child. But, once the child was taken, David's mourning ended. David's servants were surprised to hear this. They said to King David, "What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food." David's response was, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.’ But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me." David's response can be seen as an argument that those who cannot believe are safe in the Lord. David said that he could go to the child, but that he could not bring the child back to him. Also, and just as important, David seemed to be comforted over this. In other words, David seemed to be saying that he would once again see the child (in heaven), though he could not bring him back.
Though the Bible leaves open the possibility, the one problem with saying that God applies Christ's payment for sin to those who can't believe is that the Bible does not specifically say that He does this. Therefore, this is a subject for which we should not be adamant or dogmatic. We can, however, be dogmatic about the fact that God ALWAYS does what is right.
Knowing the love and grace of God, God applying Christ’s death to those who cannot believe would seem consistent with His character. It is our position that God applies Christ's payment for sin to young children and those who are mentally handicapped, since they were not mentally capable of understanding their sinful state and their need for the Savior. Of this we are certain, that God is loving, holy, merciful, just, and gracious. Whatever He does, it is ALWAYS right and good.
