Subject: Can a toddler go to heaven? |
Bible Note: We who will be partakers of the divine nature, are also partakers of the heavenly calling, to a New nature that is 'begotten' inside of us after we accept Christ as our Savior and consecrate our lives to Him. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Yes, this applies to the Church only, as we alone are 'partakers of the heavenly calling' and of the divine nature, the very nature of the Father, and we alone have the special salvation spoken about in the following verse: 1 Timothy 4 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, SPECIALLY of those that believe. Notice, those of us who believe NOW have a SPECIAL salvation, in what way you may ask? Because we're being recreated as New Cretions in Christ and when we die or are gathered together with the Lord at the resurrection, we become 'born again' in the FULL sense of the Word as immortal spirit creatures...our earthly friends and family, along with infants and toddlers, do not, they look forward to the RESTITUION or the RESTORATION ( as in the NKJV) of all things lost in Adam...the restoration of the perfect paradise earth, perfect humanity in all it's prestine beauty and form, both morally, intellectually, emotionally and physically whole. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God Yes, those who are to inherit the Kingdom are to be spirit beings, as our Lord is, not fleshly beings as all others will be... ; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Those here upon the earth will be susceptable to the Second Death up until that time that they prove themselves worthy after Satan has been released at the end of the Millenium and they have passed that final test of loyalty to God, after having been RESTORED to perfection as Adam had it, with all the knowledge of sin and it's horrible effects- which is the purpose as to why God allows human suffering and evil to prevail now- so we'll learn thereby, and after having the law of God written in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, they shall STAND against the wiles of the Devil, then they shall be handed over to the Father as perfected humanity and then they will have everlasting life forever under the reign of God as the Revelation says that God will make His abode with them, and we along with God and Christ, shall make our abode with our human friends and family and thus shall infants who die be resurrected and raised under the 1,000 year reign of Christ, as state here, an infant can die at a 100 years old, seeming to indicate that God will give each individual 100 years to learn the Truth and to conform their lives to it's standards.Isaiah 65 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. Yes, these verses are speaking of the time during Christ's thousand year reign, when peace and the knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. I hope this has answered some of your questions. The Scriptures that you indicated were in Luke chapter 1, wherein John leaped in Elizabeth's womb when Mary came for a visit. This seems to indicate that John knew before he was born Whom it was that Mary was carrying in her womb. I'll research this and get back with you on this, and whether or not children are souls prior to their actual birth or not. I could be wrong on this and I will readily admit so after I have taken some time to ponder over the Scriptures and I'll get back with you on this one. Yours for the Truth, The Good News Minister! |
