Do Babies Really Go To Heaven Part 2 (2 Samuel 12:14-23)
Description
The question isn’t academic if you’ve ever held an ultrasound photo, walked out of a hospital empty-handed, or wondered what God does with the smallest lives. We take the most tender and controversial question head-on: do miscarried, stillborn, aborted, and newborn children go to heaven, and what does the Bible actually say?
We start with Romans 5, tracing the contrast between Adam’s disobedience and Jesus Christ’s obedience, and why Paul’s “many will be made righteous” can’t be reduced to a narrow, adult-only category. From there we tackle the foundational claims underneath the whole debate: life begins at God-ordained conception, every human being lives forever because we’re made in the image of God, and the real issue becomes where we live forever.
Then we test popular answers against Scripture. We push back on post-mortem salvation using Luke 16, and we examine baptismal regeneration claims (including household baptism arguments) to ask whether any ceremony can guarantee heaven. Finally, we walk through the grace-versus-works tension: saved by grace alone, yet condemned with reference to willful rebellion and suppressed truth (Romans 1). That framework shapes how we think about “age of accountability” as a state of moral awareness, not a magic number.
