Would a terminally ill infant from an atheist family go to heaven?

Answer 1

According to Christians, no because it didn't accept Jesus as its personal savior.

Answer 2

Yes, anyone who is not old enough and has not heard the word will go to heaven. There is an age of accountability that gives everyone who isn't old enough, disabled, etc, free entrance into His kingdom.

If the parents would like to see that child again, it is entirely different. They are obviously old enough to know and to hear the truth. The fact they have chosen to be atheist means they have heard the word and rejected it at least once. They will have to accept it in the end if they wish to join the child they lost, and they have until they die to make that choice. That could be an hour from now, or it could be in 30 years, but the choice is theirs and they are responsible for having heard the word and been offered the gift.

Answer 3

yes. When young children die, they are considered guiltless and innocent befor the Lord. People reap hell becaue they know the truth and make a choice to walk in it. That's why the scripture says, ".....the wages of sin is death". However, children even though they can be full of folly are not intentionally applying wickedness. God told David to go among the Phillistines and kill everything including the children who did not know God. Why? Because the children would come back and live with the Lord.

Answer 4

Absolutely! All children go to Heaven until they get to the age of accountability which I don't think anyone knows what age that is .What it means is once we all are a certain age we are responsible for ourselves spiritually and God considers us mature enough to make decisions pertaining to our soul and our path we take in life whether it's with or without Him ,I've always been told it was around the age of 12 -13 but not for sure but as for this most precious gift this couple has been given by God will be in heaven when it's time here on earth is done.My prayers go out to the family of this child maybe they too will find and trust God through this and be able to see their baby again one day I think very soon and someone needs to tell them about God and how all the stuff works,maybe who knows this may be Gods way of bringing them to him .It says in the Holy Bible that He will bring you to your knees to get your attention.I'm not saying God takes innocent babies to get parents to commit to Him but He does work in mysterious ways.I will pray for the parents and the child and tell these parents that miracles happen every single day but THEY have ti have FAITH and BELIEVE in Him and HE sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to die for ALL of OUR sins and they MUST TRUST in HIM.I will keep them in my prayers and will add them to our prayer list at my church.God Bless you and the family.

Answer 5

Athiests don't believe in heaven. The infant would just rot and become soil to them. I'm not religous but I believe in a heaven. I think everyone gets in. Earth is as close to hell as it gets.

Answer 6

Christians believe that children younger than the age of accountability go to heaven.

Answer 7

Of course not as there is no Heaven for anyone to go to. Stop trying that silly crap on Atheists and think about your own people and your cousins the chimps.

Answer 8

Yes. The infant hasn't been made to choose to believe or not. It's soul is pure and unspoiled by family ideals and/or beliefs.

Answer 9

I don't know, do trolls go to heaven/ Exactly what do you expect when asking a question like this? Nobody truely knows the answer to that and you just start another Holy war that we are all sick and tired of.

Answer 10

Yes, of course. A child too young to choose gets a free pass.

Answer 11

Yes cause its an infant
