At the risk of being stoned for heresy... what is the problem with babies going to hell?
If all are born in sin, then unless they are washed by blood of Jesus, they go to hell no matter what age they are. That is the gospel, is it not?
The argument is same for babies, young children, mentally handicapped, and mentally insane.
These people have no capacity for understanding spiritual things yet are born in sin like everyone else.
One may even argue they wouldn't even know the difference whether they went to heaven or hell, If you have no concept of it in this world why would you expect someone to recognize these things in afterlife?
Sorry for offending anyone but my perspective on the matter is a bit less biased now that I dont think there even is an afterlife.
But these are serious issues within christian doctrine that are typically not addressed.
