What will happen to babies and children in the Rapture?

[fried eggs]

Will they be taken too?

1. Have they accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and saviour?

No? Then they get to battle out the apocalypse with the rest of us. They got to start pulling themselves up by their bootstraps sometime.

2. condemned to hell at the moment of conception. its a tough crowd lol nt

3. Traditionally they all go, they cannot make a choice until 13 or so

And Jesus's sacrifice automatically saved them until they are old enough to reject him on their own.


Or something like that ;)

4. Those who have not soiled their diapers are without sin,

and will be taken up. I have this on high authority.

6. Most fundies subscribe to what's called the age of accountability

This can vary--some would say it's as young as 3, some put it at 10 or so. It's when the kids can understand the purpose of Jesus' death on the cross--to save mankind's souls--whereupon they must ask him into their hearts and accept him as savior. Once they've done that the kids are saved for life...or maybe not, depending on what one believes about eternal security. It can get very complicated and there are many differing points of view on the subject, which is the reason for the multitude of denominations. So the possibility exists that lots and lots of youngsters will be left behind at the Rapture. It's all based on that age of accountability thing.

This is what I learned in my decades as a fundamental evangelical Baptist. Pretty much don't believe any of it now, but guess we'll find out tomorrow what's true and what's not.

Peace.

9. I'm almost 67 and I still do not understand the purpose of Jesus death on the cross

How was that supposed to work anyway?

And since I don't understand it, does that mean I will be Reptured?

7. fried eggs

Wel, most surch, have the teatching that children and babies, specially under the age of 8 are not "full of sins" and therefore able to came to heaven...

On the other side, I really doubt that the end/rapture wil go ahead on saturday.. I have a feeling a lot of poepole wil be really disepointed when the rapture are not happening, and they have to go to work on monday morning... No man can predict when the Doomeday is here.. And this man is using what I call math-magic to find out when the end is near.. Some belive him, some dosent...

8. Only if they've been baptized. Otherwise, straight to Hell. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
