How can we prevent that? What if the baby never made it through to be saved or be taught Jesus Christ is the savior? Will it go to hell then?

They go to Heaven, they are not at the age of accountability. We are under original grace not original sin.

Babies are already saved, when they die, and if they should live to get12 years of age that's when they become accountable for their own sin.Their sins are on their parents until the age of 12, so if they die at birth yes the do go to haven.And if it's a evil baby like chuckie, God will just slap the devil out of him, and take him home.

Babies are covered by innocence. They go to heaven if they die as babies. That is true until they reach the age of accountability. When they can understand their need of a Savior and the concept of sin - then they must accept Jesus or not with its eternal consequences of decision.

Well, we know for sure that not ALL babies go to hell, definitely. King David said that he would see his baby in heaven someday.
There are pretty much two theories:
Some people say there is an "age of accountability" and anyone who is too young to understand goes to heaven no matter what if they die.
Others say that God knows whether or not they would have become a Christian if they had lived, and that determines where they go.
I guess we don't know till we get there...

Babies are born with original sin, but they do not have the ability to make a conscious decision, therefore they would not be condemned to hell. The Roman Catholic Church teaches through the magesterium (a traditional teaching of the Church not found in scripture, but believed to be inspired by the Holy Spirit) that children who have died without Baptism, are entrusted to the mercy of God. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused Him to say:" Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism.

Babies or even young children who die before they are old enough or mature enough to be aware of or make the choice to accept Jesus as their savior will be resurrected after Armegeddon. Then, they will grow up and learn and be given an opportunity to accept him. Hell is not a place of eternal torment anyway. It is simply the end result (death) for all those who make the choice NOT TO accept Jesus' sacrifice on their behalf.

Ok, here is the deal. ALL have sinned, for we are all born into sin, shapen in iniquity, & also he that says in his heart that he has no sin, the TRUTH is NOT in him.
K, how many does all include? Everybody? Good!
Now to the next point, what to do with babies since they have also sinned. Never mind the fact the baby doesn't mean to, who does? (For if it were possible to be perfect, would we not have done so?)
If God sends them to heaven, he is violating the babies free will, making him go whether he wants to or not later in life. In addition, if one sinner gets a free ticket to heaven, might not all sinners deserve the same?
If God sends him to hell, he is being barbaric & cruel. Now, some say, that sinners burn in hell, but I am not certain. I have at a certain point in my life, when hormones were raging, been addicted to women if that were possible, being unable to say no (the "Goddess" effect).
Literally, women had so much influence over me, I was blindly putting them ahead of God (Which Adam & all men have done being God designed man to fall so madly in love with women, that he will do anything to please her).
I was trapped. I was helpless to ask God for help. Because I was bound by this trap. I don't do drugs, smoking, or drinking, but this was my area I was weak in. It was my temptation. Even as women dressed skankily & used that to attract & get men, yet while I was helpless, I was also angry inside that women do this, knowing this is wrong.
I feel that mankind is also facing things much the same way these days. I feel that much of what happens is cause & effect. People do things because they cannot help but do them. They are a slave to them. Music wise, I now feel addicted to & like a slave to music at times. It drives me, pumps me up, I can't help it.
If revealing I am an imperfect human is wrong, oh well, it is the truth, & at least I am not sugar coating it with lies to make me feel good. If you want to call me the worst human in the world, ok, go ahead, but I am not perfect, guess I never will be, but I am trying to do the best I am able.
I really do not know what God will do with the babies. Either way, the babies free will gets trampled....
Unless all people are going to heaven, I see no need to send an "angelic" sinner to heaven, just because they are so young, look so pretty, & can't help sinning.
People who do sin do so because they are trapped & cannot help it, do they not? It is the same.
They may know better, but the mental bondage is no less great. In fact, knowledge can increase the bondage.
I feel that whatever he chooses to do by one, he should do for all, just to be fair....

Until you know right from wrong, you are automatically saved, so babies, children up to about 2 are all safe. Even kids after that are pretty safe for we sin more n more as we age.

Babies are innocent they are not held responsible for there actions. Even if a baby hasn't been saved it still goes to heaven. God isn't cruel he wouldn't send an innocent child to hell.

All babies go to Heaven. They do Not know sin.
And they were bringing children to Him that He might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And He took them in His arms and blessed them, laying His hands on them.
