Good or evil, sin or good deeds - these are fabrication of adults, babies do not have such concepts.

Please, let us spare babies from christian bigotry.

If every baby is born good, then we have a hard time explaining how infants were killed in the Old Testament while the Israelite babies were spared (except if killing has no connection with destination). If every baby is born good, then we have a hard time explaining how God could love Jacob but hate Esau even though both were circumcised. And we have to rework Psalm 51:5 to mean David's mother, not himself as the baby, as being sinful. At least when I read it, the entire tone of that passage points to himself only, not his parents.

No, babies are not born as little Satans. We love them, we don't loathe them. But if Jesus suffered little children to come unto him, then I would think that babies need a Savior, too. And this is the reason for infant baptism, as a replacement for the covenant of circumcision. God's people recognize the promise given to Abraham and bring their children before the Lord, placing them in baptism at the feet of the Lamb who died for them, too, as a fulfillment of the law, not a replacement for it, or supplement to it.

No, babies are not "good enough" to get to heaven on their own without a Savior. To think that anyone can get to heaven without a Savior, is pure foolishness in my opinion.

Every child, according to the Bible, is born into the world in a sinful state. However, like Adam and Eve before they ate the forbidden fruit, they have no conception of sin as a choice until they first commit one. Thus, before God they are considered innocent of sin until they reach their own age when they are knowledgeable of sin, and therefore accountable to a righteous Judge.

Every baby born with no sin as such a white cloth.

See how the bible connected with this hadith:

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: No child is born but he is pricked by the Satan and he begins to cry because of this pricking, except the son of Mary and his mother.

Every baby is born facing the same sentence as us all. Death, due to Adam/Eve's sin. But they have God's grace to cover them til they reach the age of accountability.

Every baby is born with a sinful nature, which makes them a sinner the moment they're conceived. Every baby is born a sinner - period.

Babies are innocent of knowledge of sin

the Bible says we are defiled by what comes out of our own hearts

and a child knows nothing of sin
nor its being

And it is sure a paying day when parents stand before God
and give an account for what they taught thier children
and thier blood WILL be required at your hands if yiu failed to teach them correct
for it says train a child in the way you will have them to go and when they are old they will not depart from it
what did you train your child to do ????????

Everybody is born "bad". What we call good is something learned. Naturaly, without culture we would rob, kill and rape just like chimpanzees do. That is called "bad" or "evil". But its natural. Then we (zoroastrians) invented good and bad and decided good was the way to be, so we teach babies to be good. But they are born natural, which means, bad.

Every baby is born innocent, from their mother.

Interesting thing about some religious folks... just gotta condemn everyone, and when there aren't enough folks to condemn... HEY! Let's do the kids!

Every baby is born a sinner but without sin.

A baby is not accountable for it's actions because it does not know good from evil. They are innocent in The Lord's eyes.
