when a baby is born it receives the breath of life which is the soul. we as the parents are accountable for what our children do until they reach the age of accountability.some religions have a set age but I think it differs with each child. so any one passing before the age of accountability goes to heaven,as their parents are held responsible for any sin they might have committed. after reaching the age of accountability it is up to us to repent for our sins no matter what age we are
The age I will be when I go to heaven is the age I am when my Father calls me home.

It is not with age. If you open your heart up to the Lord he will recieve you when everyone else rejects you he wont. You could be on your death bed and never ever recieved him. And at the last mintue you believe in your heart and call out to him . He will recieve you for eternity. It is by grace that you are saved. He has mercy. He is not like us who condem one another who cast away. He is an awesome god. Who died on the cross for all not jsut one person but all of man kind. So that questions lets just put it this way. He took our place on the cross so that we can live. He died to bring life to who so ever would recieve him. Jesus loves you . There is no age limit Jesus is heaven itself. He is the prize to be won at the end and if you knew him you would fall in love with him. He forgives and cleans and washes away our sins . And never holds us to that sin again. He is the savior of the world our salvation

Little children having died as infants go to the heavenly glory where the Father and the Son reside--baptism is no requirement for them.
All others over the age of accountability must be baptized by proper priesthood authority and obey God's commandments to obtain that highest glory.

Salaam Alaykum
According to Islam, all unborn babies and all people who die before hitting puberty will go to Heaven without question. The same goes for the [truly] insane.
However, once you reach puberty and you are sane, you are responsible for your actions. Don't think that people who live on a remote island and have never heard of Islam automatically go to Hell. No, that's not the Islamic view. The Islamic view is that people who have never heard the Truth of Islam and die in that state DON'T automatically go to Hell, however Allah (as always) has the final say.

Just to clarify all unborn children do NOT go to Heaven. They have not sinned, that is true, but they also are not baptized and so the Church has always simply commended them to the mercy of God. We hope they go to Heaven but we can't say for sure.
The Lord Jesus Christ himself affirms that baptism is necessary for salvation (John 3:5). However, those who die for the faith, those who are catechumens (wished to be baptized but could not for some reason or died before), and all those who, without knowing of the Church but acting under the inspiration of grace, seek God sincerely and strive to fulfill his will, are saved even if they have not been baptized.
There is no certain age you have to be to enter into Heaven. It is simply those who die in a state of grace, although most must be purified in Purgatory before entering Heaven. (Revelations 21:27, Luke 12:59, 1 Cor 3:15 and others).
God bless you.

there is no set age. its not a roller coaster at an amusement park. theres not set anything. you can go to heaven while you are a zygote, fetus, new born, infant, baby, toddler...and i think you are starting to get the picture. i just don't feel like typing it all out. so, in short: zygote to the oldest people on earth and everyone in between get to go to heaven.

all unborn children go to heaven, so i guess the answer would be minus 9 months.
