Talking together about what Jesus Christ did for us at the Cross of Calvary. We have so much more than religion, we have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and His death upon the Cross; to save us from our sins.

WILL CHILDREN GO IN THE RAPTURE ?




Recently this question came in to the ministry. Let me say that I believe that ALL children are saved until they reach the age of accountability, at which time they must choose to receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

The age of accountability will vary according to each child. There is not a set age. Again, that depends on each child and we must leave these things with the Lord. It is important that parents, at an early age begin to teach their children the truths of God. Teach them about salvation by the blood of Jesus from the time they are born.

Some teach that only the children of the saved will go in the rapture but I believe that to be false. The Word of God tells us that small children are favored of the Lord. When David's child died, the king said he could not bring the infant back but would one day go to where the child was [2 Samuel 12:23].

Jesus said that children have angels who behold the face of God [Matt. 18:10].

So, to give a very brief answer, I believe that ALL children below the age of accountability are saved and will go in the rapture.
