That would mean that the one million Jewish children that died in the holocaust were given a great gift.
if they died before they could accept Jesus then they get a ticket to heaven, but if they grew up and stayed in their own faith they would burn in Hell for all eternity.
That being said all children of non Christians should be converted or killed now to save their souls, and non Christians should not be allowed to have any more kids.
Is their something else I am missing?

I am unaware of a biblical warrant that says children go to heaven.
The only thing remotely similar is this: "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy." (I Corinthians 7:14)

If you believe in the possibility of "losing your salvation" (as opposed to "once saved, always saved"), then after someone is saved, they should be put to death to eliminate the possibility that they'll "fall away."
One practical consideration is, of course, "who's going to keep killing the babies if all Christians and Christian converts die?" Excellent question.
I would recommend some kind of evaluation process when someone converts on the likelihood that they'll "fall away" vs. their usefulness as a converter-murderer. You would have to balance these needs carefully to insure that the gospel keeps spreading until the earth is de-populated and everyone is in heaven (aside from people who died while still unsaved, of course.)
Other practical considerations:
*Murder of an unbeliever is much more serious than murder of a believer, since you send them to hell. Criminal statues should be changed to reflect this.
*Abortion should be encouraged since the preborn infants will instantly go to heaven and they can't "fall away." Special recognition should be given to abortion providers for the number of souls they save on an annual basis.

Let's say that you have a spiritual happening for the lack of a better way of terming it. It is intense, you see the light as some would say.
You refuse to believe it.
You refuse to accept it for your self.
You push it out of your head. You refuse to think about it anymore.
You go on your way.
I would say that you have had the opportunity and turned it down.
The Jewish children didn't have the opportunity.
So the unfair God condemned them to hell. I DON"T THINK SO. The unrighteous God condemned them, no I don't think so.
If you have had the "visitation" and turned it down, then I think you have a problem.
Did you notice I didn't say an evangelists comes and says anything.
I didn't say a christian comes and says anything.
I think you must have gotten, the connotation that it is God who made the invitation himself.

So, you're finding out that God is not fair, just as he wasn't fair when he made the Israelites his chosen people. You had a question about the rest of the world? He can choose who he wants, and he can leave whoever he wants, in their sins. Nobody has the right to tell God what to do with his creation. Job knew that after a good talking to.

You got it,
Oh and the whole abortion issue is a mistake. Christians should be applauding abortion as, statistically, many aborted fetuses would probably end up bound for hell, if they were given a choice to choose Christ. Abortion gives them a free trip to paradise, yet Christians picket against it?

No. That's it. All non Christians, despite that their beliefs have been around longer, will burn in hell. The burning will be witnesses by Beelzebub himself, all horns and pitchfork and tail. This is reality.

Yep. Heaven. And a relationship with the God of all creation and his Son Jesus Christ.

there is no "burning in hell"
hell is death, to cease to exist.
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
perish is to cease to exist. to go to hell to be punished for eternity would be "eternal life"

That's not anywhere near what the scriptures teach.
