Ezekial 18:20, "The soul that sinneth,it shall die.The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
it clearly stated in Bible that every person has to be responsible over what one does,good or bad.Thus,if a baby who died before being baptised,it will not go to heaven..?
Matthew 19:14,"But Jesus said,Suffer little children,and forbid them not to come unto me:for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
so??

How can convince bigots?? They are brought with feeling of original sin from beginning. Guilty conscious is also a kind of intoxication

The concept of original sin goes far beyond that one simple verse. It starts when Adam and Eve chose knowledge over the bliss of ignorance. Once that deed was done, mankind was expelled from Paradise.
Given your Islamic misconception regarding the implication of the verse you quoted, should not have Adam and Eve's children been automatically been granted entrance into Paradise, rather than live as men? What prevented them from simply choosing to be with God in Paradise rather than live on Earth?
Review this...
John (9:2) "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?"
This demonstrates the common Jewish belief that the afflictions of men could be caused by the sins of their parents. Show me one child that does not have a natural tendency to sin. That is the nature of original sin, and no man is able to live a life without at one time or another committing sin.
The tendency for humans to do their own will, rather than that of what God "asks" of us is inherent, and thus inherited simply because they are human.
Maybe that's where the proverb: "we're only Human" comes from...

That was when the Hebrews were under original sin.
We are now under original grace. Babies, and any children who have not yet reached the age of accountability, go to Heaven to be with the Father.
I would respectfully ask you to read more of the New Testament, best wishes to you.

Acts 8:
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
If a little children can say that they believe they can be baptized.

if a baby who died before being baptised,it will not go to heaven.
i dont believe GOD would turn his back on a baby just because it was not baptised. children are taught to be the way they are they dont all start out good or evil.

You are getting there but continue to read the new testament children until they age of accountability will go to heaven if they die. We are no longer under the old testament.

First, baptism does not save.
Second, children have the uncanny ability to respond to God in faith and obedience that grown-ups have lost.

See? Once you really truly read the bible you realize that it's all made up by a bunch of people who lived centuries ago.
