Creation of JCF Statement of FaithDo babies goto heaven?I agree. But just because a baby does not expereince guilt does not mean it has not experienced/committed sin. I'm actually a little surprised you left off verse 7 of the Romans passage: "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." But even here again, Paul does not say, "I had not committed sin, but by the law." He says, "I had not known sin, but by the law." A baby, indeed even a full grown man, can be guilty of sin without experiencing the feelings of guilt. This question is irrelevant. If it were, and the baby did have to make a choice for salvation, then 1) it would be unfair for God not to let it live long enough to come to an understanding of what that means, and 2) it would be against the teachings of the Bible, because the Bible teaches we cannot work for our salvation, and I believe that if it is up to us to decide to follow Christ, then that must be considered a work. I don't see how you can draw this comparison. The blood of Christ covers Christians, but you cannot (or at least in my mind have not yet) established that babies are Christians up until some age of accountability, at which point they lose their salvation until they choose to make a decision for Christ. |
