If the rapture happens and a pregnant woman gets lifted to heaven, does the foetus go?

Question

If so, why does the foetus get a free pass? It never accepted Jesus as his personal savior.

Well I thought it was about accepting Jesus, not about sinning. So If I live without sin and am Jewish I still get in?

Vatican II cancelled limbo..sorry

Answer 1

I initially thought "that is one f ucked up question" and then the hardline christians surprise me once again with even more f ucked up answers. I applaud you.

Answer 2

Of course. Like you said, no limbo, where would they go? I guess the real question is what would happen to foetus if the woman was not a Christian? Would the baby have to suffer through tribulation?

Answer 3

I don't believe in the "rapture" but lets apply your question to the death of any child.

Children are born pure (we will include a prebirth fetus in this group for the sake of discussion) If they die before reaching the age of accountability (not a physical age as we define it) or rather an achieving the ability to use conscience (the light of Christ) to rationally discern good from evil, then they are sinless in the eye of God. As such they get a "free pass" as you put it.

This is not held as a tenant by all Christian faiths but it is by mine.

Answer 4

God declared that all little children who leave this earth before the age of accountability have a free pass into heaven.

The age of accountability it the age at which the child is capable of making a distinction between right and wrong. That age may be different for different children. But certainly a child in the womb has not reached that age yet.

Answer 5

The fetus (correct spelling) would go to Heaven. But it wouldn't be a fetus in Heaven. The child is, obviously, under the age of accountablity. And a side note for Diane......baptism isn't what gets a person into Heaven. Accepting the gift of salvation is.

Answer 6

Yes, because it is under the age of accountability. You know the time before you are held accountable for your sins? When you don't know right from wrong or have even heard of Jesus. There are lots of people, especially children, who will not be held accountable. The mentally challenged, people in other countries who never heard of Jesus are 2 that I can think of.

Answer 7

If those women are slutty sufficient to permit diverse adult men on the place of work to have random intercourse with them, i could think of you're able to should be greater careful and use protection. and probably those women are on the pill in the event that they're that straightforward, except they're actively attempting to get pregnant or attempting to easily catch a guy into marriage or courting.. that's not in any respect quite stable entering into sexual relationships with human beings at artwork besides.

Answer 8

There is no rapture; if there we12, and salvation is only by accepting Jesus as a personal savior, then I would say no it couldn't.

Answer 9

yes, because the fetus had not yet attained the age of reason.
you sound jealous?
you could go too,
if you wanted to.
John 3: The Words of Jesus Christ (God in the flesh)
3. "Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
4. Nicodemus saith unto Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
5. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God."
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
16. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Answer 10

The unborn fetus has not had a chance to sin, or as others have said it has not reached the age of accountability. Yes, it would go to heaven with it's mother, but it would be a child, not a fetus.
