When you get Born-Again(saved), the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of your spirit, and you are Baptised in the Holy Spirit.
Every Christian (Child of GOD) has had their spirit recreated and has the Holy Spirit living in them (Baptism)--spirits can do this.
You do not have to be Dunked in the Water Physically to go to Heaven.
Babys that leave the Earth for good, get their spirits recreated and are taken to Heaven by GOD.
Hope this helps.

Well first of all you don't have to be baptized to go to Heaven.Baptism doesn't save you God does.As a believer you should be baptized a as open public confession.And the bible said to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord so the babies that don't make it - are with God.I wish these churches that say you have to be baptized in order to be saved and go to heaven would read their bible and do some studying on the matter instead of assuming!

First of all, baptism is not a saving event. You do NOT have to be baptized in order to go to Heaven. It is simply an act of obedience, showing other people that you have officially accepted Christ.
Luke 23:39-43 says:
"One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.""
If you believe that you have to be baptized to go to Heaven, then explain this. The thief on the cross was not baptized. He hadn't even accepted Christ until then. You might be wondering how I know that he hadn't been baptized, well in verse 42, it says:
"Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." "
By this statement, the thief is accepting the fact that he is more than likely going to Hell for what he had done, and for the fact that he hadn't been baptized or accepted Christ. When he says "remember me", he is assuming that he won't be with Christ. Jesus then assures him that he will be going to Heaven, even though he hadn't been baptized.
As far as the second part of your question, I really don't know. The Bible doesn't mention anything about where unborn babies go if they die before birth.

this concept of hell assumes a God which could no longer even sensible sufficient to set up an common academic field day holiday and get each and each of the student residing house wisely. How probably is that? the concept that God replaced into no longer sensible sufficient to have arise with a plan to get everybody decrease back residing house wisely 100% of the time is only an common lack of religion. trust that the real God had this found out lengthy before any persons ever were given the following. that's what real faith sounds like.

See, this is where I feel it is a mistake to take the Bible literally. No one knows what happens to anyone after death. One can only have faith that every soul is accepted into heaven.
Or, you could go the opposite route and learn about reincarnation: some believe that there are a small percentage of cases in which the "incarnating entity" resists incarnation and aborts the pregnancy.
There are all kinds of schools of thought on this, and we won't know the answer until we die.

According to the Catholic religion babies that are not baptized go to Limbo, the land between heaven and hell.

Babies are innocent and pure when they are born and learn to sin while in this life on earth. When a baby miscarries, they go somewhere safe and warm until they can be with their family again.

Okay... first of all>>>>>>>>> babies don't have to be baptized b/c they're too young to have sin in their lives and too young to repent. When John the Baptist was baptizing... did he baptize men/women or babies? HE baptized men & women not babies. SO... this should answer your question!

Baptism is a physical representation of a spiritual reality.
The spiritual reality is essential not the physical representation.
The physical representation is commanded as an act of obedience, but who wouldn't want to obey if truly a recipient of the spiritual reality?
Consider the malefactor saved on the cross. He had no opportunity for the physical representation, but he did indeed receive the spiritual reality for Christ told him that that day he would be with Christ in Paradise.
