Unbaptized babies...are they going to hell?

This is one of those standard retorts that drives a stake through the hearts of bleedin' heart christians and their rabid war-mongering associates even.\nIt's a stumper for some, an opportunity for trotting out the prepared church answer for others.\nI am not one of either of these, thank the Dog!

well, all those news are so terrible, I can't imagine, I really have to pray for people who are persecuted, even we christians are not aware of what our brothers and sisters have to go through in other countries, so I think we should be more aware and start praying for them. As for unbelievers I don't think they would be in the least concerened and if there were people who were really concerned they would not do such brutal things as said in those artilces, I am really shocked!!

God is not a member of any kind of religion. He couldn't be. So everybody is protected by Him, not only the new born babies. well, if his parents belong to a religious cult, that's ok. so the baby will. but if they don't, that doesn't mean that the baby is deserted.

Yes they are. According to my religion, you have to be a christian to go to heaven.Since they are not christians, they are going to hell

Baptism is an outward sign of the New Birth you have experienced. It is not necessary for salvation. It was originally a Jewish Rite called a "mikvah" the ceremonialy clensing before being declared "Clean." Apostle Paul said, "I'm glad I baptised none of you, except Crispus & Gaious and a few others. For God sent me not to baptise but to preach the Gosple." If Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles felt it's not necessary to baptise Gentile converts, then it is good enough for me. It doesn't hurt any if you do have it done, but not necessary to salvation.

It tell me that those parents love their children and want to teach them right from wrong so they can make an educated choice when they get older\n\nThe parents that say, " I'm not taking them to church because I don't want to forse any religion on them and they can mkae their own choice when they get older....IMO, these parents are clueless, they turn their children over to world to be trained with NO right or wrong moral code upbringing.  How can they make a choice like this? they don't know both sides.\nThis is a cop-out by the parents \n\nThese children  that do make it are few and far between\n\nthat is so sad\n\nand our culture is reflecting this attitude these days too.....:-(

I think that if they are truly Christians, that they have accepted Jesus as their personal savior, they are not going to hell. Somebody correct me if I am wrong about that. \n\nAnd I think, and this is just from my studies, I remember that Christian doctrine says we are all sinners and need Christ. Again, that is what I remember.\n\nIt is not my experience or my belief, mind you, but just what I think is Christian doctrine.

And I cannot imagine that anyone outside true believers can imagine any of these answers help at all. Children die of horrible diseases in the first year of life, why bother if your answer is that they are going to heaven (of which you have no proof), why not just skip the bit on earth?\n\nAnd the sickest thing is that Christians will say its because someone else has sinned, even the most blind human knows you do not punish someone, particularly the most helpless, because of someone elses transgression.

Denominational confrontation is such a mystery to me...\nEven if no proofs exist - all of humankind still has God's grace - no matter what your membership status is. Given that, you may end up in hell while I go to heaven - you better watch yourself!

I can only hope they do. If I would believe in prayer, I would even pray for it.\n\nIt seems I'm going to Hell, I can't imagine a God being so cruel that he would again confront me with those hypocritical Christians.\n\nSo, no worries, they won't be in Hell. It will be only good music, good people, good parties and lots of Southpaw. We'll have fun :)

This isn't a Christian church. If Christ's behavior in life had a common thread, it was to reach out to sinners and those who society had deemed "unclean." Their refusal to do that shows that they follow someone (or something) other than Christ.\n\nLuckily, the joke is on them. Once their birth rate starts going down, Landover Baptist will have to rename itself "the Incredible Shrinking Church." :)

I don't like that certain Christians tell me that I'm going to hell because I don't believe exactly what they believe.  If someone lives on an island, has no other people around, knows nothing of society, can you honestly think that this person will spend his afterlife in a fiery pit of despair and pain?  It sounds just like a Sunday School tale to scare children into behaving.  Old fairy tales such as Little Red Riding hood, Cinderella, etc, didn't turn out as happily ever after, they were to teach children to behave, and have good manners.  I respect Christians, they can believe whatever they want, but please I am happy with my own beliefs, and don't want to believe what you do.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for going behind your sister's back. Innocents don't need baptizing and you  violated your sister's trust in you by having the children baptized without her consent. You might consider it for the best, but she doesn't and God doesn't require it. Shame on you.

Can't think of one, unless you are just a bad person who won't raise the child right.  We just adopted a little boy, and it has been a wonderful thing.  James 1:27 says  "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:  to look after the widows and orphans in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."\nPure religion is what I am after, but I have to admit, I would have wanted this beautiful baby even if I hadn't been a Christian.  He makes 8 children for us, and I hope we can adopt some more, maybe older children before we are done.

A Baptist accepts what Jesus did, and has a personal relationship with Him.  They dedicate their babies to the Lord; they don't baptize them.  People are baptized only after accepting Jesus.  I believe most other religions have infant baptism and confirmation (which isn't in the Bible).

Wondering .. if these intelligent people answering "no" in here to this question would say the same thing for some human born totally brain-dead .. destined to live a life on a respirator?\n\nall this know-it-all-stuff is so confusing!\n\nI think if there were a heaven .. silly thought I know .. at the front gate there should be picketers .. with signs: No Dogs? No WAY!, "BOYCOTT ST Peter" .. "PETA Hates Jesus" and such.
