If I died the moment I was born would I go to heaven?

Update:

If so wouldn't it just be better to kill me then? would I be doing a great service to people by killing their children? If I was redeemable in the eyes of a god, but then killed by somebody while I was in the act of trying to redeem myself would that mean I would still go to hell?

    Yes, that is the number one reason to be pro abortion. For those babies it is a GUARANTEED ticket to Heaven!

    The fact of the matter, it depends on if God had saved you before you died, if you were saved before you died then yes you will go to heaven, but if you died not being saved then NO you will not go to heaven, and the only way to become truly saved is if God Jesus Christ saves you as it is written by grace ye are saved, also it is written NO man comes to the father but through the son Jesus Christ, he did all the work before the foundation of the world that is why he is called the lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

    No. Only a few humans have the hope of being resurrected to life in heaven for the purpose of ruling as immortal kings and priests with Christ. (Revelation 14:3; 20:6) Are they babies who have died? No. They are followers of Christ who have been fully tested and tried! (Luke 22:28, 29) Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25) The Bible teaches that the dead will live again. While Jesus was on earth, he showed that he is able to resurrect the dead. On one occasion, he resurrected a 12-year-old girl. How did her parents react? They “were beside themselves with great ecstasy.” (Mark 5:42) Under the rule of his Kingdom, the heavenly King Jesus Christ will resurrect untold numbers of people to life here on earth—including young children, but under peaceful and righteous conditions. (Acts 24:15; 2 Peter 3:13) Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones

    (John 5:28;29; Psalms 37:11)

    No you will not, the Bible mentions that you have to gain knowledge of the Almighty God Jehovah (John 17:3). And only 144,000 will be going to heaven ( Reverlation 14:1-3). The Almighty God Jehovah does not take babies because babies do not know anything but they can be resurrected back to their parents. The Almighty God Jehovah will not only resurrect those 144,000 to heaven but he will be resurrecting ones back to a beautiful perfect paradise home here on earth (Reverlation 21:3,4 ). I would like to invite you to this website where you can get more accurate answers to your questions and you can also request a free home Bible study with someone from your area will be please to study the Bible with you and answer any questions you may have.

    Maybe. Only God knows the answer to that. It's neither here nor there, because we're dealing in hypotheticals, but He would know that if you had lived, would you have become a believer? And a real Christian? Would your family or surroundings have contributed to that, or served to deter you from that? There will be many babies in heaven when we get there that will be brought to the adults to raise, even to adults who never had their own children. But there are children, like the children of the Canaanites that God commanded the Israelites to destroy, that would never have believed in Him. That's why they were superfluous to God, and why He commanded Israel to destroy them. Had they lived they would never have accepted salvation.

    Don't listen to the athiests saying that there isn't a heaven. How can they live believing that no one has a soul and that once people die, they go nowhere? If they were right, life would have NO meaning! Your life would be the equivilent to that of a goldfish

    Well, that would depend upon which Church's canon would you fall under. Some Church canon would say no because you would not have been baptized. While others would say yes, because you would not have been corrupted by the sin of man.

    “All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.” ― Voltaire

    Christianity says exactly the same and that is why if a baby is born and they think it may die they baptise it!

    In Romans 7:9 Paul wrote, “Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.”

    Since Paul was physically alive at the time, many scholars believe he was speaking of the spiritual death that only unbelievers will experience. That means all children are created with eternal life. In His mercy God does not count their sins against them until they are able to intellectually understand the idea of sin and its consequences. If they die before that time it’s as if they never sinned.

    When Paul said, “But when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died,” he was speaking of reaching the age where he could understand this. At that time he became accountable for his sins and was destined for spiritual death. In Jewish culture this is thought to happen at age 13 for boys and 12 for girls, but no specific age has ever been established in the Bible. By becoming born again Paul escaped this destiny and regained the eternal life with which he was born.

    Then there's Matt. 18:3 where Jesus says we have to change and become like little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. That means children are the model to which all believers have to conform in order to enter the kingdom. Verse 10 says that all children have an angel in constant contact with the Father. This leads us to conclude that all children belong to God.

    The way adults become like them so we can have eternal life is to be born again, because then we become a child of God again (John 1:12-13) and our sins are no longer counted against us (Romans 7:18-20).

    So for miscarried babies and aborted babies, and other children, whether due to accident, illness, or birth defects who never reach the required intellectual maturity to understand the consequences of their sin, they belong to God. Though their bodies have died, their spirits are with Him. They’ll receive new bodies at the rapture/resurrection, while those who are still alive will be transformed from mortal to immortal like their born again adult counterparts. Paul explained this in 1 Corinthians 15:54.

    Everyone is redeemable in the eyes of God. John 3:16 says *whoever* believes in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life. John 6:40 says it's God's will that *everyone* who looks to Jesus and believes in him shall have eternal life. Romans 10:13 says that *everyone* who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. And Matthew Matt. 7:8 says *everyone* who asks [for salvation] receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

    And finally, no one has a right to end the life of another human. Murder is a crime against God (Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17). God is our Creator and reserves to Himself the decisions of life and death.
