1 | how can we know children go to heaven? | Acts 16:31 | CDBJ | 179166 | ||
Greetings Mark, Here is another train of thought. The only thing that can condemn a person, since the Lamb of God, Jesus, died for man’s deplorable condition, is rejecting God’s plan, which involves Christ and the work that he did on the cross. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. The issue for mankind, since the sacrifice of Christ, isn’t a sin issue, per se, but what one thinks of Christ and the work He accomplished. Speaking of the Holy Spirit, Jesus says; John 16:8 (A) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; This is the only issue that will eliminate one from entering heaven, i.e. It is in essence, the rejection of God only plan for mankind’s eternal future. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. What I am saying in effect is, there are those that haven’t come to a point of accountability in their lives; they actually haven’t rejected God’s plan of salvation in Christ. Example: John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Those in the previous verse said no to God’s plan by rejected Christ; the antithesis to rejecting Christ is accepting Him. Do you think this could be a possibility, since infants “haven’t” rejected the plan of God that God is able to impute His righteousness to them? They never made the decision to refuse God’s mercy and grace. It would be like, and this is a poor example, an unconscious person floating in an ocean in a life vest and they are pulled onboard by a rescue ship, in the middle of the night and all this is unbeknown to the one being rescued. Food for thought, CDBJ |
