1 | Do babies go to heaven or hell? | Gen 5:24 | mark d seyler | 154005 | ||
Searcher, We all sin, but we do not all go into the lake of fire. When Jesus died, He took upon himself the imputation of our sin; He took credit for our sin, and bore the punishment. Only those with imputed sin will go into the lake of fire. Imputation of sin is only given according to the breaking of God's law. Babies, though born with original sin, have not yet received God's law. It is when they understand God's law, and choose to break it, that sin is imputed. I have covered these scriptures in my posts. I would also ask that if you wish to represent my responses in your post, please be careful to present my words as I wrote them. Our God is just and merciful, and has made the way not only for the ones who are mature, aware, and intelligent, but also for the young, handicapped, and for whatever reason, unable to understand as we do. Where much is given, much is required. Where little is given, little is required. To those who have lost a young child, who had not matured enough yet to understand the gospel, take heart - God loves them so much more than you do. Mat 19:13 Then little children were brought to Him, that He might lay hands on them and might pray. But the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, Allow the little children and do not prevent them to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hello Mark, I think you misunderstand imputation, or I have misunstood your remarks. All babies have imputed sin because they die physically (see Rom 5:12-13). If they did not have imputed sin, they would not die in infancy. What you have described is personal sin which brings God's wrath upon us. Steve |

Searcher, I thought you were done discussing this with me :-) To impute is "to charge to the account of", to "give credit for". As the redeemed, our sin is imputed to Christ, God counts our sin as having been committed by Jesus. We receive Jesus' imputed righteousness. God credits us for the perfect life that Jesus lived, as if we had lived it. Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Adam started it, and we all continue ourselves to sin. Even babies are self-centered, and will steal, and defy authority. Sin kills. Even babies may die. Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Before the Law was given through Moses, mankind sinned, and died, but that sin was not counted against the sinner, because God has decreed that He will not count that sin against those to whom He had not specified obedience to a certain command. Sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Even though the only law that God had given was to not eat of the tree in the center of the garden, and no one but Adam and Eve had eaten of that tree, still people died, because sin kills. But that sin was not counted against them, because in is not imputed when there is not law. I don't know what I can add to this. If you want more information, you might try the link Kalos posted. Love in Christ, Mark |

First, I don't like the idea that God wouldn't allow my grandtoddler into heaven because she is only 22 months young ... I also don't like other things He does. I read what Kalos posted and the links. Second, I want you just answer the questions I posed. Don't ask me questions until then. Mark, You said "We all sin, but we do n...
