I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven
Who exactly should go to heaven when they have no personality, yet? Are they even self-aware?I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven
Then where do they go? Hell?I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven

Were you saved by a profession of faith or by Grace?I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven

And Peter will be transformed into a literal small stone.Yes they do, 100 percent.
And on top of that truth, when we all go to heaven, we will be transformed into little children.
And Peter will be transformed into a literal small stone.
I was just making a little fun of your literalism.Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Nothing there about being transformed to a stone.
Can you quote him?The Bible never, ever, in any place or form, refers to small children in Hell. King David spoke of how he would join his infant son in Heaven
Yeah... where do you see "heaven"?This is from 2 Samuel 12:
19 David noticed that his attendants were whispering among themselves, and he realized the child was dead. “Is the child dead?” he asked.
“Yes,” they replied, “he is dead.”
20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.
21 His attendants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!”
22 He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live.’23 But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
I was just making a little fun of your literalism.
In the OT, there is no concept of hell or heaven for the afterlife. They had only sheol - a place where everybody went, a "dreamy" state, a waiting room for resurrection and judgement.Why exactly would David think he was going to Hell? Why would he end his grieving if he was going to be ruinited in Hell?
Well, its simple - David did not mean heaven, because they did not have such concept. If you want to talk about Jesus, its a different topic. Jesus used many concepts not known to the OT writers.What about Jesus many times referring to children and Heaven in the same context? It all adds up to one conclusion...especially when you include the very nature of God
