Bible Question: Side question - will babies (and some others) be part of the rapture? Why/why not |
Bible Answer: I don't see the connection between your question and the reference verse (Matt.24:22). However it is only for God to decide who is to be saved. On the one hand the sins of the wicked are also visited upon their children up to the 3rd and 4th generation (Ex. 20:5, 34:7, Num. 14:18, Deut. 5:9 and Jer. 32:18). Yet (on the other hand) the saved son is not quilty for the sins of his father (Eze. 18:17). This would of course assume that child is old enough to make his own decisions. Only God can determine that. |
