If both parents of a child are not saved will that child (who is unclean and not holy) go in the Rapture?

This is fostering the worst form of speculation.

First, all our days were numbered before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:16). Second, we are not judged according to the salvific status of our parents (Ezekiel 18:24). Third, God, the Judge, will do what is right (Genesis 18:25).

Teach your children the gospel. Teach your neighbour's children the gospel. Don't worry about things that are beyond your capacity to know.

Seems to me these folks are engaged in inductive Bible reasoning, trying to arrive at conjecture based on what isn't written about the subject.

I think a better use of inductive reasoning would be to try to visualize Jesus in all the scriptures. Not try to determine who will and will not be saved in the end.

Well, that is probably good advice, but to try to draw some type of conclusion that a child will be sentenced to hell because of the sins of the parents is ludicrous, and does need rebutted.....Just saying.

I agree with you. My point is directed at the person making the as you correctly describes as ludicrous, statements. They need to learn to see Jesus in all the scriptures, and stop with the outlandish conjecture.

Yeah, I completely agree with you. People need to take all scriptures into account. Seems sometimes people take one scripture out of context, and then want to double down on it without taking any other scriptures into account.

Did they need to? Reading the thread title I wouldn't think they'd have to say Hell when it is implied in the title.

There are those Christians who believe children can go to Hell btw. Even newborns.

A difficult one to continue with. You see hell implied in the Rapture and I think they're not related. Strangest of all is maybe the fact that the word "hell" is a conceptual term rendered by some very capable translators for three different Greek words - Gehenna, Hades and Tartaroo. You probably mean "Gehenna", which scripture interchanges with "perdition", "the Second Death" and "the Lake of Fire".

Any way, what I should do is say that I too do not believe that a person in the form of a fetus, infant and/or child, go to the Lake of Fire. One goes to the Lake of Fire for Works of actively opposing God - which of course a child does not plan to do even if they exhibit the Adamic nature.

"And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh" (Isaiah 66:24)

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works" (Revelation 20:12)

I do not think that the Almighty set an age of responsibility. At Kadesh-Barnea it was 20, but I think that in Deuteronomy 21:18-21 it is much younger. Is it not a relief that the Great and Just Judge sets the rules?
