Yeh. The Bible refutes both points #1 and #2.I've always heard two theories:
1) They weren't alive long enough to commit sin so they automatically go to be with God
2) They weren't alive long enough to have a soul, so nothing happens at all.
I prefer to believe the first one. Especially now that some states seem to allow abortions later and later in the process. You can't tell me that my son, when he was like 20 weeks along and I could feel him kick and respond to me....didn't have life and soul.
How is their salvation any different from an infant's?All the people who come to Christ and are born again and bear it to the end are going to be saved.Now, I don't truly know about children and unborn babies, I try to give you my opinion, God knows better, let's humble ourselves and trust the Lord because we have no idea of such things.
I do not understand your answers, sorry.What does scripture say?

How is their salvation any different from an infant's?
I feel good, because according to me, fetus does not exist as a person.No one else knows the answer to these questions either. God will do what he will do. He did not share with us every last detail about the nature of the afterlife. Get used to it and you will feel better.
That's all right. Not everyone is going to agree on everything, come what may.I feel good, because according to me, fetus does not exist as a person.
the OT concept of the afterlife is not this explicit, there is no hell or heaven, regardless of what your bible translates. David spoke of joining his son without mentioning the place saying "I will go to him, but he will not return to me.", Implicitly, however, this place is Sheol, which is an indiscriminate place of the dead where all pass through and the only concept of the afterlife in the OT.King David spoke of how he would join his infant son in Heaven
Just saying scripture says you carry many traits of you ancestors having been part of them at one time.I do not understand your answers, sorry.
You are genetically all that your ancestors were.
And that's because unborn, born and little ones and the mentally unable are all saved the same way as all who are cognizant of good and evil---By Grace!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 and Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven was made for little children. The Bible very much supports baby's and small children not yet fully conscious of sin going to Heaven.
I take after so and so. Who do you resemble?Actually, you're only a fraction of what your ancestors were. The polyploidy would kill you if you tried to be all that your ancestors were.
Every conception is a living human and has a soul.. If it is aborted, it goes to heaven. Where else would it go? Do you think that God would deny it entrance to heaven?I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven
Where do you think David was going to go in order to see his son?Yeah... where do you see "heaven"?
When does it become a person?I feel good, because according to me, fetus does not exist as a person.
I don't believe that children that die before they make a profession of faith in Christ go to heaven
Wherever the Lord is.....Where do you think David was going to go in order to see his son?
