Romans 2:14 speaks of before the resurrection also and after
Acts 17 the section I quote refers to men of all times all over the world
All are after.

You are taking this way beyond the idea of children going to heaven. We are narrowly looking at that subject.

When our Lord said "Suffer the children..." He was talking to his disciples about a particular group of children at that particular time. They were all Jewish meaning they were ALREADY in a covenant with God by virtue of their birth.

We are now in the New Covenant, which must be CHOSEN by the individual as an act of their will. Children too young to make that choice are not covered. And you will find NO biblical support for an "age of accountability." that is an entirely made-up doctrine.

After, actually.
Before and if all tunes actually

We see the light in the OT also

Psalm 43 - 3. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.”

Isaiah 2 - 5. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. “

Job 29 - 3. When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; “

Etc etc etc

All talking to Jews under the Mosaic Covenant.

The New Covenant is very different.
