Age of Accountability (children going to heaven)

I believe it is very clear that children below a particular age always go to heaven. I also believe the teaching of original is wrong, as I described in my previous article you can read here.


Anyways, let us go through some verses speaking about children going to heaven.


Genesis 18:25

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?


Numbers 14:29-31

Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.


Deuteronomy 1:39

Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.


2 Samuel 12:19-23

But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 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.


King David knew his son was renuited with the Lord. This should proof everything. Nevertheless, we will go through a few more verses


Isaiah 7:15

Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.


Matthew 18:3

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.


Mark 10:13-14

And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


There we can see that children are not seen as sinners unless they have a reached a particular age. Of we course we do not read anywhere where that age is reached. But we surely can guess, can't we?


God bless you,

There is a lot of confusion about that topic. There are many cults who make everything a salvation issue. On the other hand however there...

Why you block me on Facebook Linus without even telling me why? If you feel I’m in error, why didn’t you come to me? Doesn’t seem very spiritual to block a brother Christ that you have so much history without even a warning or explanation.
