Youth group question of the week: do babies go to heaven?
- Do babies go to heaven?
A host brings a question from a 12- or 13-year-old in his youth group: do babies go to heaven? One host shares a funeral story where a grieving mother was told her unbaptized baby was in hell, and answers that infants have not personally sinned and so are not separated from God. The hosts note reformed traditions disagree (original sin from the womb, infant baptism), and the youth leader challenges his students to research the question themselves since Scripture gives no age of accountability.
