Are all Babies going to be raptured?

Pentecostal · #1 02-09-2010, 02:21 PM

What is your thoughts on Babies going to heaven?

I am truly asking you all for insight:

Scriptures and discussion starters:
Matt 18:10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Romans 9:11
(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

1 Cor. 7:14
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy

Someone asked me this:
Could an innocent baby that knows nothing but how to cry and eat, not go to Heaven.
Your judged by God when you reach the age of accountable.
And it's different for each individual. I know in the Old Testament sometimes Men, Women and Children were punished for one mans ... disobedience, but that was under the law. Now we're under Grace and Mercy. Besides, Children are an heritage of the Lord's.

I think you fairly well answered your own question in both threads, Pentecostal.
1 Cor 7:14 I disagree with what some may read into that verse in this context though-the parents don't stand in judgment for their child, nor is the child judged for the parents' works. Nor does this verse imply that two unbelievers would have children who had no opportunity for Heaven if they would die.

Hope that makes sense...

i'VE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THE "AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY" IDEA.

I mean the kids that died in the flood surely were not old enough to be accountable, yet they recieved judgment. Kids under the Law that did certain things were to be stoned, but were they all past the age of accountability?

I don't know how God judges kids, but I'm not 100% sold on the "age of accountability" idea.

Thanks for your thoughts... It's a huge question and thought provoker... If they are, it's going to add huge chaos to the rapture time for those left behind... Can't imagine it... Trying not to be here when it happens...

They may have died in the flood... but that doesn't mean they went to hell.

Yeah, especially since hell wasn't even invented yet!

What's a rapture? That kind of a high falutin rupture?

I had a baby that had a hemmorage once!

I personally think we need to take the kids to the doctor if they have a rupture. get that thing sewed up.

Just my opinion!

Thank you for your input... Great thought provokers...:

The reason I'm asking about Babies - is I had a vision/dream that they were going to be raptured out of mothers arms when Jesus came back for the church. I realize dreams are not "bible" -but I've been trying to get some feed back on the subject.

I am aware of 1 Cor. 7:14 - and that's the only scripture I'm given on that side... but, again, here's other ones to consider:

Matt 18:10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Romans 9:11
(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

Mt. 19, Mr. 10, Lk 18:
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Could mean: "of such type" is the Kingdom of heaven...

Children would have "no choice" for who their parents were... sinner or saved...

I've been dreaming a lot about heaven and just very excited/burdened and when I had this dream, actually seeing them (all the babies in the baby area of the cemetery) come out of the grave at the cemetery, next to our saints, and mothers losing their children, as when Israel left Egypt (not a type of the rapture) but they ALL felt the pain of the chosen people of God leaving - not one household was not affected...
It may be wrong, but it's had me thinking for a long time...

And, great answer to the Flood thought - they may have died, but did they go to Hell? Wow... never thought of that!
