Did those children believe in Jesus? No? But they deserve to go to heaven.See, my friend...if you read other parts of this forum you would know that I am STRONGLY against those who say that God is a God of judgement. He poured out all Judgement for sin upon Jesus.
I also believe that none of those who were 'judged' and died in the OT "went to hell"...what was lost was their natural life.
So you see...you have no idea what I believe or don't believe....
I do NOT believe the 'party line'...I believe what I see in the heart of the Father.
If children go to heaven without knowing & believing in Jesus then there is a loophole in salvation by faith only.
It proves that your God can save a person without them believing in him. So does your requirement for salvation still stand.
