Do Babies Go to Heaven when they die 5?
Austin Gardner • July 19, 2022
God will always do right!
Babies do not go to heaven because they are innocent
- There is no word that they are getting saved
- There is nothing that would indicate that they weren’t sinners
- All that I can assume and hope for is that He is having mercy on them due to their lack of ability to discern and understand
- As a child this was explained to me that somehow God kept the babies safe until they were able to know right from wrong. I believe these verses would indicate that
- Babies die just like everyone else as a result of sin and death entering into the world
Romans 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:
David thought that he would go to be with his son upon his death. David certainly wasn’t speaking of being buried with him
II Samuel 12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
- The most familiar verse that is used to show that children go to Heaven if they die while they are too young to choose is this one
- I believe that David was saved and knew it
- I believe that David had a great understanding of God and the after life
- David believed and expressed his faith that he would go to be with his son
- I think that indicates that his child was somehow through grace taken to the presence of the Lord and salvation
In summary
- I do not believe that a person can be saved without believing
- I believe that the child would be safe somehow by the grace of God and I believe that the verses indicate that God did just that with those that were unable to understand
- I have no idea about the rapture and whether babies go in the rapture. I do not see any verses that I can apply there
- Everyone dies because sin entered the world through Adam and his sin
- God wants all to be saved
- He will always do right and I can trust that

Starting in Mexico and continuing till today
Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary. Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you.
