This may surprise you, but God is far more interested in babies than you are. That is why this whole thing will be wrapping up pretty soon.

No one knows what will happen at the Second Coming of our Savior. There seems to be a Mythical idea that somehow the born agains will sail up into the sky and escape destruction. Putting aside what the Bible says, which may or may not be even close to the actual meaning due to multiple translations and re-translations, babies are innocent and all children who die under the age of accountability are saved in the Celestial Kingdom of God.

So, even if this "rapture" occurs as many evangelicals dream it may, all innocents would be partakers in it without regard to their religion or the religion of their parents. Where no law is given, no punishment is affixed. Little children cannot sin because Satan has no power to tempt them. Hence the empty gesture of infant baptism means nothing because babies cannot sin.

Personally, I do not know what exactly will happen at the Second Coming. Do I believe in a "rapture" as put forward by the guessers in Evangelicalism? No, it is just extrapolation which means nothing, like the postulating as to whether the Pearly Gates swing or slide. The important thing is to live worthy of Heaven and to love all our fellow beings.

The Rapture is the blessed desire for the Christians. And for 7 years hell in the international.The Christians are with God and His toddlers in heaven in the course of the time of the tribulation. After the tribulation the Lord will set up his kingdom the following in the international for a 1000 years. I strongly propose that human beings supply there lives to Jesus now at the same time as there nevertheless time.God help those who're left in the back of.

The Bible doesn't say. I tend to think they will also be caught up with Jesus. Babies don't need to think about religion to be with God.

I say this because God is perfectly just, loves children and welcomes the innocent:

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and don't forbid them to come to me; for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven."

God is merciful and excuses those who are unaware of His existence:

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

Be blessed!

No one truly knows for sure, because there are no direct Scriptures addressing the issue. On the one hand, there is the one where Jesus speaks of the children's angels who see the face of the Father. (Matthew 18:10) On the other hand, we are all Adam's offspring, carrying around the sin nature.

The "age of accountability" doctrine comes from Jewish tradition, where at 13 years old, boys go through their bar-mitzvah, and become responsible for their own faith. (Girls go through a bat-mitzvah at 12.)

The only other Scriptures (that I can remember) that deal with children and the afterlife are:

"But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." (2 Samuel 12:23)

And

"For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy." (1 Corinthians 7:14)

The implication is that children of believers have a possibility of Heaven, but even then, it is speculation.

ther is no such thing as th rapture...only a term used by some denominations...BUT NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE !!! beware of ssatan's deception....Paul's letter to the Thessalonians explains how God will take his people to heaven...not rapturd because the archangels will all be thre with Christ in the clouds awaiting the saints: both dead who ar ressurected and the living....this is the first ressurection mentioned also in Revelation 20,21, 22... about babies: babies to Godly parents will live but to the ungodly, will die...for here they cannot decide for themselves and so rely on their parents choices....refer to the Sodom/Gommorah , the flood and Egyptian first borns during the exodus....also , many examples are there in the bible of how God destroys the entire family because of the sins of the fathers.....God bless

Those Babies will be raptured with the believers. Then in the new heaven on Earth they will be given a chance to accept Jesus before they turn 100 years old. If they do not accept Jesus as their savior they will die at 100. If they do accept Jesus then they will live for eternity.

"Their angels look upon the face of the Father". They are raptured upwards (Check out the Left Behind Books)

there is NO rapture. God is going to return at the 7th trumph and we are going to be changed into spiritual bodies. We are all going to be w/ God until we are judged. Babies are innocent so they of course are going back where they come from no questions asked.

children below the age of accountability (when children can make the decision for themselves to be Christians) will all be taken in the rapture
