If a baby dies will it go to heaven or hell?

Why Must Even Youths Die?\n\n“WHY did my baby die?” the young mother sobbed, grief-stricken at the death of her only child. “He had so many years ahead—so much to live for.”Such parents are not alone in their sorrow. Their pain has been felt by many others. Usually it is a grief known only to a few close friends. At other times the world becomes aware of the loss.\n\nThe only book that truly explains this situation is the oldest book in existence, the Holy Bible. Its writers were inspired by God, and so what they wrote merits our interest. One of those inspired penmen wrote almost three thousand years ago: “The living are conscious that they will die.”—Eccl. 9:5.This same Bible writer who wrote, “For the living are conscious that they will die,” continued that very sentence with a statement that surprises many persons. He said: “But as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”—Eccl. 9:5, 10.\n\nThis idea surprises persons who have been taught in their churches that the dead not only are conscious, but are consciously suffering punishments or enjoying rewards. Who has not heard the idea that the dead are suffering in a hellfire or purgatory or are enjoying the blessings of heaven? Yet God’s Word, the Bible, says the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.”\nVerify this for yourself. Get your own copy of the Bible, and read these words in the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter nine, verses five and ten.\nThe Bible teaches that Jesus’ ransom sacrifice opened the way for a magnificent hope for mankind. By laying down his human life, Jesus was offering as a sacrifice the exact equivalent of what Adam had lost—perfect human life on earth. He paid a “ransom” for dying mankind. Now the prospect of eternal life was again open. Thus it was proper for the apostle Peter to call Jesus God’s “Chief Agent of life.” (Acts 3:15) It is by means of this One that God will raise the dead to life in a thrilling resurrection. Concerning this, the Christian apostle Paul said: “There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15.\nEven now there are persons who are exercising faith in God’s Son, and they have a wonderful hope ahead of them, even as Jesus said: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.\n\nMany persons can quote that Bible passage, but few have thought about what it actually says. It does not say that Jesus gave his life that people might “become angels” or so that “all good people might go to heaven.” It says he did so that they might have “everlasting life.”\n\nYou may have prayed: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”—Matt. 6:10, Douay translation.Few persons have realized what a change it will make for that prayer to be answered—for God’s will to be done throughout the earth the way it is done in heaven. In fact, it will require that God replace this present system of things, with its wars, corruption and greed. In its place will be a new system that will assure the conditions of peace and life that God originally created in Eden.\n\nPsalms 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. It is possible to benefit from Christ’s ransom, and to conform to God’s instructions. We can take a course of obedience that will permit us either to survive through the coming “great tribulation” or to be resurrected afterward, into a righteous and cleansed earth, now near at hand. What a blessing to be on hand when dead loved ones, perhaps your children, return from the dead!  NO BABIES DO NOT GO TO "hell, or purgatory" THEY ARE ASLEEP WAITING FOR THE RESURRECTION .

A fireman. It's my dream to die saving others. What better death could a person want? Praying to Jesus? Jesus would be rushing in to save the baby, not praying in vain. God helps those who help themselves. Picture it, saving an innocent baby from a burning building.....or dying trying. I would be HONORED to die in such a manner.

yes, those who reject it go to hell. but just because someone doesn't reject the Gospel doesn't mean they are saved. they must accept it in order to be saved and believe in Christ. no one really knows what for sure happens to believers and nonbelievers before judgement day, but i think that they are separated, and then we'll all be judged one day and go to 'our place' eternally. some Biblical whiz probably has a better idea more based on the Bible, but either way, once you die, you'll go to heaven or hell. hopefully you'll/you believe the Gospel and live for God!

This is a pretty difficult question to answer.  \n\nAt death the body and soul are separated.  Those who will spend eternity in Hell seem to go to a type of waiting area.  Those who will spend eternity go to a similar waiting area - called Abraham's bosom at times - also called paradise.\n\nUpon the return of Jesus we will be given a body once again (the final resurrection) and the Sheep will spend eternity with God and the goats will spend eternity in Hell.

Jesus died on the cross for every one of your sins. There is no sin bigger than another. One can gossip & another can kill someone, but in God's eyes they are all just sins. If you truly believe you are forgiven & turn then yes you will go to Heaven.

if they both repent then neither will go to hell. if only one repents then they go to heaven and the other goes to hell. and if neither of them repent then they both go to hell.

lol - no they will not.  When a human dies their essence returns to the spirit existence.  If they are consumed with guilt and other emotion tied to the physical they will linger on earth in their own private hell, until they can see (just as everyone else will) the way home.  That's my opinion and I welcome yours.\n\nPeace!

Both will go to hell, and yes you will along with everybody else, including Christians. All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church. Look at below website for many other anti-church / pro-God topics

If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior, then you go to heaven.  If you don't, then you go to hell.\n\nIt's just that simple, and sad for those that don't believe.

you do exist forever. your body is only a house for your soul. when you die, the soul/ you, lives on. If you have not accepted christ as your savior, you will go to hell. if you are his child and have accepted him you will go to heaven. it's that simple. question is, where do you want to exist forever?

Yes, they will go to heaven if they truly repent. It is hard for us to understand but that is God's plan. If we accept Him into our lives, even at the last minute, we will go to Heaven. This includes everyone.

When a person dies and when the world ends and Jesus comes back to the earth for his children then we all will have a Judgment Day where we will be judged on whether we accepted Jesus into our lives based on if we were saved by the shed blood of his on The Cross of Calvery. If you where then you will spend eternity in Heaven and if you weren't and your name is not found in the Book of Life then you will be cast into the Lake Of Fire where you will spend an eternity in Hell.

Duh!u go to hell.  the only reason being because only god has the right to take your life and you can only repent if you're alive you cant repent when youre dead thats why people tell you to repent before you die so you can get to heaven

You're thinking about the Catholic Church cult, not actually biblical Christianity, with regard to babies dying before being baptized. You go to heaven if you believe in Christ, and if you are a child, then you will go to heaven because you are below the age of accountability. Focus more on the Bible and not the Catholic Church's contradictory dogma.

if you have been saved(accepted Jesus as your Savior) you will go to heaven..but if you haven't you will go to hell ..but not yet because nobody goes anyway until the day of judgment! it is in Revelations if you want to check!

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.
