If a baby born in a Non-Covenant family (Non Christian) is killed or dies before they can have the chance of believing in God or ever hears the Gospel, do you think that baby will go to Heaven?
Imagine if he/she lived in an isolated part of the world, and they had never heard the Word before. What would happen?

Yes,that baby will go to Heaven immediately.You have to hear the Gospel's 1st in order to be held accountable.So when U see all those poor children on T.V or hear about a child being killed via Drive-by's,Drunk driver's etc...It's a terrible thing,but on the contrary rejoice,because the are in Heaven with God and love ones who have made it.

The Catholic Church says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God.
The Church had pondered the suggestion of Limbo for a few hundred years and has decided that it is not a good idea. Limbo was never official doctrine.
Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16)
For centuries, people have wondered about children who died before they were baptized. The Bible does not explicitly state that they will go to heaven.
Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine and has been rejected.

With love in Christ.

Romans 2:12-16 guarantees justice and righteousness for all those not having the opportunity to know God during their natural lives.
God is not wicked. However, exactly how each is judged is for Christ and the Saints to decide.
Also, only the Saints go to heaven the rest into Paradise on Earth!
Christ and the Saints become kings over all the nations and this earth is where God's kingdom shall be established.

The Bible tells us that God will judge everyone fairly depending on what they knew in life about God and how they lived. In fact, God expects more from Christians, because they know Christ and his will. God bless.
"The servant who knew what his master wanted but didn't get ready to do it will receive a hard beating. But the servant who didn't know what his master wanted and did things for which he deserved punishment will receive a light beating. A lot will be expected from everyone who has been given a lot. More will be demanded from everyone who has been entrusted with a lot." Luke 12:47-48

there is no heaven.... the reason it requires blind faith to work is because there is never going to be evidence of it.... heaven is like a carrot dangling in front of the people... you can promise anything if you never have to deliver there is no life after death... so as long as some smuck thinks he's gonna get a better life elsewhere than actually living a life here on earth there's going to be fools on earth...

I hope your illusion of heaven gives you a happy sense of purpose. I prefer to live in reality.
