Answer 2

Yes, because no matter if they were born in a bad or good environment, God wouldn't judge them only if they start being judged at the age 13 when their sins are on them. If they were under 13, their parents would be responsible for their sins. So, yes, babies even aborted ones go straight to Heaven to be raised by angels. You would be a fool to say there's no Heaven or Hell because THERE IS! If you need proof, I will support that in scripture. May God bless each and everyone of you.

Answer 3

I believe it is the uniform testimony of Scripture that those who are not capable of making a decision to receive Jesus Christ, and who have died, are now with Christ in heaven, resting in His tender arms, enjoying the sweetness of His love. There are numerous factors supporting this viewpoint.
It is highly revealing that in all the descriptions of Hell in the Bible, we NEVER read of infants or little children there. Only adults capable of making decisions are seen there. Nor do we read of infants and little children standing before the Great White Throne judgement, which is the judgement of the wicked dead and the precursor to the lake of fire (Rev 20:11-15). The complete silence of Scripture regarding the presence of infants in eternal torment militates against their being there.
Jesus and the children. As we examine instances in which Christ encountered children during His earthly ministry, it would seem that children have a special place in His kingdom. Jesus even said, "Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mat 18:3) He also said, "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me (verse 5). I don't think there is any way someone could read through Matthew 18 and conclude that it is within the realm of possibility that Jesus could damn such little ones to hell!

Answer 4

Up to the age of accountability, yes, according to christian doctrine, they go to heaven. The age of accountability depends on the individual child, its the age at which that child is able to make a faith-based decision. Its said to be between the ages of 8 and 12, but like I said, depends on the particular child.

Answer 5

That is an insanely debatable question. It's like asking if animals go to heaven. Some say that since we are born to sin and it is in our nature (thanks a bunch, Adam and Eve), then they don't. Others think that since babies don't commit any acts of sin themselves, they are free to enter heaven upon death. Who knows? We'll find out when we get there.

Answer 6

The Catholic Church teaches that we are all born with Original Sin- that is why we have Baptism- to remove the stain of Original Sin.

We believe that in addition to a traditional baptism, there is also Baptism by desire- meaning that the Lord knows if someone wanted to be baptised- or intended to baptise their child- but never had the opportunity due to unexpected death.

We also believe that our just is as merciful as He is just. We leave them to the Lord's love and mercy.

Answer 7

YES.

"And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:2-3

"Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Answer 8

Absolutely

Answer 9

Christian propaganda asserts that we all inherit original sin--& are born sinners--rotten to the core---so--according to Christianity--that baby is going to burn forever--However Christ had a different take of children--when he said--But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.(Matthew 19:14)

Answer 10

Matthew 19:14 "Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Answer 11

I believe so. As accepting Jesus is a choice, and a baby couldn't comprehend, I'd say yes. I believe this would also apply to young children, too.
