this guy knows almost nothing of what the bible actually teaches, amazing to me.

@Ericules555 they are tho. all people are born into this world sinful, but piper is saying they're saved because the lord judges those who HAVE had a chance to profess He is God. So babies are saved because they did NOT HAVE a chance to do so. It's a little more complicated than what I said but, bottom line...

They are born with sin. We all inherit the sins of our fathers

@eambrausa sometime in the future children will eventually know the difference from right and wrong and they choose wrong they will commit sin but until then they are pure and innocent, sinless.

why would baby goes to hell?

They have never sinned.

Jesus tells us to be like a child if we want to enter his kingdom, children are pure and innocent, as clean as they can get, they have never broken any God law to be guilty of sin....sin is transgression of the law.

our creator is just in his judgments, we have an eternal creator with eternal consequences .you believe in the judge who would put you in jail for a few years for breaking a man made law dont you?now think of breaking the creators laws. Piper said that babies dont go to hell , that are not at the age of accountability. repent of your vulgarity or be held accountable Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken

WTF How are people even discussing the fact that babies would go to hell no you can even leave open the slightest possibility no im glad its bullshit it horrible Your all fucked up for beliving in this stuff.

@007eil Didnt Jesus say "suffer the little children to come unto me?" The word he used refered to very young children not able to walk or talk. He didn't say "when they are mentally capable of understanding salvation they will be held accountable."  That appears to be a manmade doctrine.

@danielkirk1 I am not sure what you are refering to here, but some of the Apocropahl books that the Protestants removed after 1600 A.D. had been part of the Bible for hundreds of years before that time. Catholics Bibles do still contain them just like the ancient Bibles did. They do talk about Purgatory. Please be careful who you listen to. Some people misrepresent themselves. RevGreen for example is a punk 20 year old kid posing as an ordained minister. I talked to him about his dishonesty.

@RevGreen1 The translations of the Bible before the reformation contained the apocryphal books. They were removed in some protestant translations after 1600. They had been a part of the Bible for hundreds of year. Many of the early reformers like Wycliffe believed in purgatory....it was a part of Judiasm before Christ. The Bible does not say "if we can be purified by purgatory then Jesus need ever have died. Purgatory is not for lost persons, it is for saved persons only.C
