The Destiny of Those Who Die in Infancy?


Myron Houghton has an interesting
post asking and answering the question concerning the destiny of those who die in infancy. In sum, Houghton notes:

The Major Views:
  • Infants who die in infancy unbaptized do not go to heaven
  • Infants who die in infancy unbaptized may or may not go to heaven
  • Infants who die in infancy are damned
  • Infants who die in infancy are saved and with Christ in heaven

The Major Reasons for Believing that Infants Who Die in Infancy Go to Heaven:
  • The Death and Resurrection of Christ
  • The Nature and Place of Saving Faith
  • God’s Special Interest in Infants & Young Children
  • David’s Statement Upon the Death of His Week-Old Child
  • The Nature of the Great White Throne Judgment
  • Hell, the Punishment for Refusal to Believe
  • Divine Election
  • One Purpose for Hell
