Romans 5:14
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offense, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
(This is speaking about physical death, and not the second death of the soul.)

[FONT=&quot]These verses indicate that there is an age of accountability. I do not suggest that such an age is as shown above. But we see here that God did not punish the young ones even though some probably did also murmur against God. [/FONT]

 

[JesusChristChick]

[FONT=&quot] The young people under 20 years of age were not allowed to choose whether to obey God and enter into the land or to Disobey and not enter into the land. [/FONT]

If a little child is not able to make a choice, are they to be found guilty? The verse above would say no.) Numbers 14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

Romans 9:11
11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth

 

[JesusChristChick]

(It says here that an unborn child has not committed evil, or have not sinned. Question: Does God condemn to hell the innocent, those who have not sinned?? There are so many verses that say that He does not. That we are condemned ONLY for what WE do.) See also Deut. 1:39

The Reasons Given By People For Justification Of A Child Going To Heaven:

• God is a loving God.
• Because there is no original sin.
• Sins are covered in Christ's atoning death.
• Unconditional election.
• Children are used as a perfect example by Christ.
• Adam's sin only caused physical death.
• Little children are not capable of sinning.
• Where there is no law, there is no punishment.
• No justification by faith.
• By the grace of God.
• In Christ all are made alive.
• I would like to believe.
• The Israelites were punished for their sins in the wilderness but their children would inherit the land. Those under 20 years of age.
• A baby has not heard the Gospel, so can't accept it.
• We are free agents, All have sinned that are capable of sinning. Little children do not fall into that category.
• In the case of infants, the atonement of Christ provides for them.
• Adam's sin took root when he became aware of the differences in choices this life offers. Until then, we are innocent creatures and Paul writes in Romans that people are held accountable to their knowledge.
• It gives me great comfort to believe.
• Even if there wasn't any scripture could you see our wonderful God sending an innocent baby to hell with all the demons?
• Jesus compares the qualifying factor of getting into heaven as being like a little child.

Verses Given For Why A Baby Or Child Will Go To Hell

Introduction:
These verses were put forth by many persons as the reasons why a baby or child will go to hell.
Psalms 58:1
1. <<To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David.>> Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
(This says that it is after they are born that they start speaking lies. They say here that there is no exception.)

 

[JesusChristChick]

Psalms 51:5
5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
(If you are conceived in sin then you have to be born in sin.)

 

[JesusChristChick]

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(If you are not old enough to know Jesus then you can not have salvation)

 

[JesusChristChick]

Romans 3:10
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(If there is no one who is righteous, then a baby or small child isn't righteous and therefor can't go to heaven.)

 

[JesusChristChick]

2 Peter 2:14
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
(Children are cursed therefore they do not have salvation)

 

[JesusChristChick]

Romans 5:12
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
(This does not make a distinction between babies and adults. For all have sinned. How can a baby be pure if all have sinned?)
