There are many that preach that if a child dies and their parents are living in sin then the child goes to hell. If the parents are living according to God's word then heaven is home for the child.
Some look at David's son and say all children go to heaven. Some say David was under the law and we are now in the period of grace so things change.
Some beleive just as you wrote above.
I don't know if there is any clear scripture on the subject. If you look only at Acts 2:38, then the answer would seem there will be no babies, children or anyone else you did not follow it.
What I do know is we serve a just and merciful God that will be the judge.

And in another somewhat related thread (http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...ad.php?t=13841), I was informed that "The Lake of Fire will be full of 'good, moral people'." So why not throw some babies and fetuses in there, too?

Thanks, I'll check them out.
