Will my baby go to heaven if it dies? This was asked by a lady on the Alpha course. It is hard for people to understand that by accepting Christ we are saved, but what about the young? They havent had the opportunity. What does the Bible say on this subject?
I once heard a preacher say that because of I Peter 3:20 all the babies in Noah’s flood went to Hell:
I Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
His reasoning was, because it said that just eight souls were saved, all those babies went to Hell. Of course the phrase is referring to the eight in the ark being saved by floating on top of the water, NOT soul salvation. Also a Hyper-Calvinist believes that only the elected, including just the elected babies go to Heaven, the non-elected babies burn forever in Hell.
