The Bible talked about judgement seat in heaven, it is for everyone ;young, old, small, great.

Roman7:


nope the age of accountability is from 0-5

at Tobe, the age of accountability is from 0-5 so they're not going to be judged according to these age range

do you agree?

this is the reason why Africans have low chances of being better

why can't we just believe what we want and respect others without trying to convince them that what they believe is wrong and bad

let's show more respect and tolerance to each other

Yeah, the so called evangelism you guys do all the time is called what?

The babies go to hell, any who dies without Jesus goes to hell.

Not to mention we are born sinners.

You are just not normal at all.
Your level of reasoning is wicked callous incentive and unrealistic.
God is a just judge.
The scripture says that when the spirit of the lord fills the earth everyone will learn righteousness.

There's what you and I know and there is what the Bible says "

[b]We are all born sinners. From the moment we enter this world until our final breath, we have a sinful nature. It does not matter whether one is a child or an adult, a "good" person or a "bad" one, all of us are sinners. To sin is to fall short of God's perfect standards or to go against His laws. All humans have a natural tendency to go against the things of God, as is made obvious in something as small as our natural tendency toward selfishness. Due to our sin, we are all separated from God and deserving of His punishment (Romans 3:23; 6:23; Ephesians 2:1–5).

Our sin nature is inherited from Adam (Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:21–22). When God created Adam and Eve, He made them in His own image and without sin (Genesis 1:26–27). However, they had the ability to make their own decisions and they chose to disobey God (Genesis 3). By disobeying God, they sinned and became sinful in nature. Their children inherited this sinful nature and their children and so forth. All of humanity descends from Adam and Eve; therefore all of humanity inherits a sinful nature or is born as sinners. Romans 5:12 explains, "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned."

Our sin nature is a part of us from birth (Psalm 58:3; Proverbs 22:15); we are born sinners. Even before we are conscious of sin it influences our bodies and our actions. King David wrote, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me" (Psalm 51:5). Children have a natural inclination to act selfishly and must be taught to share and put others first. In addition, our bodies are already imperfect at birth and easily broken—a result of living in a fallen world due to sin in a general sense.

Our sin nature is not something we can overcome on our own. Although people can do good things, they are not inherently good in nature. They will never be able to do enough good works to atone for their sin, nor can they stop sinning simply by their own will power. Writing to the church in Ephesus, Paul describes the state of humanity without Christ, "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind" (Ephesians 2:1–3).

But there is hope! Jesus Christ has overcome sin. Jesus was fully human and fully God. It seems that the sin nature is passed down from generation to generation through the father; the virgin birth meant Jesus did not receive a sin nature. Jesus became a perfect man, living a perfect life without sinning. By sacrificing His life on the cross, He atoned for both our sinful nature and our sinful actions. Therefore, "For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17). Just as Adam's sin spread sin throughout the world, Jesus' sacrifice defeated all sin.

In this life we will always have a sinful nature. However, there are at least three promises for those who choose to commit their lives to Jesus. First, their sin is not counted against them; in Christ we are completely forgiven (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Second, they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to withstand the temptation to sin and Jesus will work to transform their hearts so that they will become more like Him in nature (1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Corinthians 5:17; Philippians 1:6; 2:12–13). Finally, one day they will be reunited with God in heaven and will be forever free of sin (Revelation 21—22). In Jesus we need no longer be separated from God. We are not bound to our birth as sinners, but can become children of God: "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12–13).[/b]

We are all sinners from birth according to these scriptures so the question has not been answered because the Bible also says that sinners (babies or adults) will go to hell



Do babies n infant sin?
the only sin they r guilty of is the sin of their parents.....would a baby be naked n ashamed? Nope which means they don't know n can't differentiate their left from right.....God wouldn't hold them accountable if they die ......they Go to Heaven.

According to the Bible the yardstick for making heaven is giving your life to Christ. So if a young child dies at a young age and can't confess Jesus as Lord because he/ she can't talk or too young to comprehend.

Will he/she go to heaven.

Bible scholars
Read The Spirit's Book to understand.

After death a spirit goes back to the spirit world. Makes no difference whether a child or an adult. What matters is if such spirit has attained purity. If not, such spirit reincarnate and is born a child again.

Sir, don't feel bad, always try to explain things to them. The only true religion to Heaven is Christianity as Christ Jesus is the advocate. They won't attack others because Jesus Christ is Lord, they will try to mislead people from the path of righteousness and at the end those atheist do blame themselves.
Continue to contribute meaningfully sir and enlighten them, maybe God will open their eyes and ears of understanding to flee from destruction to come.

God bless you sir

The way Atheists rush to comment on religious threads is shocking.
They even rush to be first to comment so that their fellow atheists will shower their comment with likes.

I can never be an atheist because I'm not bloody fool. But that aside, I don't see anyone forcing anyone to swear allegiance before commenting on Atheist threads. Everyone should be able to comment anywhere without swearing they believe in a cult leader, and if restrictions are put in place then it must be put in place for everybody. So stop pretending as if you don't know what's going on

The baby goes back to Heaven where it came from. Why? Because a baby doesn't have the consciousness of good and evil yet while it is a baby, even though it was born into sin and has the seed or implant of the knowledge of good and evil inside it's DNA. And also because by the finished works of Christ, the keys of hell and death is now with Jesus, meaning that Satan doesn't decide who goes to hell anymore, he can't lay claims to the spirits of men with impunity like he used to do. And finally because God loves children. He said, Allow the children to come to me. So every child that dies is going to Heaven, not by their own power, but by the grace and mercy of God. There is no single baby in hell, not even 1

Wait o... First of all your bible said all were born sinners.
Now you're saying the devil doesn't decide who goes to hell anymore.
Does it not mean that God has been sending children to hell before Jesus Christ?
Now you're saying no single baby is in heaven.
Stop contradicting yourself.

Now doesn't @ bolded imply that your God and Satan were partners, who worked together to punish people for their sins?

Your answer is right there in your post.

Accepting Christ is not all that there is to salvation. You must accept Him consciously. Same with baptism. That is why I have problems with infant baptism which the Catholics perform. How can you baptize a baby who does not even have the faculty to appreciate what you are doing to him or her?

For someone to be baptized, they have to first consciously accept Christ. They must make that decision themselves. It is not the decision of their parents or pastors to make for them.

So, in this light, a baby has not developed enough cognition to make the decision of accepting or rejecting Christ. So, how can you baptize them? You only baptize someone who has accepted Christ.

If the baby dies, he can't be termed as having rejected Christ. There is no decision that the baby has made that you can judge him by.

What is your definition of a young child?

A baby who neither knows right or wrong has no issues.

But in these days where kids are brought up anyhow and Exposed to everything by their parents, they have wat to speak against them..

There is no age limit for that!

There are 4yrs old kids that know More ..

GOD ALMIGHTY knows who is an innocent child and who is not!

That why the scripture says Train up your child in the way he should go! When he is old he will not depart from it!

Exactly

Okay, so your arguments is that because we don't remember what happened before our birth there isn't heaven or hell? That is a very stupid way to analyze anything, and I am speaking purely scientifically here.



Funny guy. grin
He said he's speaking scientifically.
grin grin
You know an example of a stupid analysis?
Believing that there's an imaginary paradise and hell even when there's no proof of it.
Your claim is, when we die we'll either go to hell or heaven.
Now, have you died before? grin
Speaking scientifically my black ass.

It's really funny.
Ask them why their god didn't make humans invulnerable to sin, they'll say God is not a dictator, and we're not robots. But when they die and go to heaven, would they still have freewill to commit sin? No. If they're unable to commit sin in heaven, why didn't their god think of that in the first place, before creating them?

Their brain will short-circuit thinking about such things. LMAO!

If the baby is not up to 6 months old.. he/she goes back to source.

Once you start knowing your left from right, can steal meat from pot of soup, tell lies etc. you're no longer innocent. Let me add that we have babies in spirit world, withcraft etc. so yes they'll be judged.

To Confess, one needs to make a decision to forsake sin and recognise Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour. Confessing after Conviction of Sin and Repentance.


Babies are firstly innocent and cant make such decisions yet as the mental buildup isnt yet there yet. Decision making is key, and that comes with self consciousness and thinking abilities, assimilation of who Jesus is to the world.


Therefore this exempt babies to me and since they haven't started taking such in both ways, they return to their Creator.

You were complained about atheists commenting on your thread, isn't it? You are not happy about it, so what's the best solution according to the Bible, in a situation like this.
The Muslims brought the best solution for their issue, and I'm sure it's in respect to their Qur'an. They have laws against virtually everything in life.
So, what's your in this case? Or are you saying they should copy the Muslims
