Why would God judge a newborn child as *sinful* when the child has never committed a sin? Do you believe that if a baby dies, and that child was not baptized yet, will that child go to hell
I don't know about other religions.. but I do not believe children are born carring the sin of their parents or forefathers or anyone else.. i believe they are born into sin... wich just means to me that they are born into a sinful world and can rebel and such (which is sin).. but until the child reaches the age of accountability they will not go to hell.. because God judges you based upon what you know and children are blameless. sounds like the same you believe.
