There is no single answer to this question as opinions on the matter vary greatly among Christians. Some believe that unbaptized babies are automatically sent to hell, while others believe that they simply go to a “limbo” state. Some Christians believe that baptism is not necessary for salvation, while others believe that it is essential. The Bible does not explicitly state what happens to unbaptized babies, so ultimately it is up to each individual to interpret the relevant passages and come to their own conclusions.<\/p>\n

There is no explicit answer in the Bible about unbaptized babies.<\/p>\n

Can unbaptized babies go to heaven? <\/h2>\n

The Church’s doctrine on unbaptized babies has changed over time. In the past, unbaptized babies were believed to be stuck between heaven and hell. However, the Church now teaches that unbaptized babies can go to heaven. This change in doctrine is based on the belief that God is merciful and loving, and that He would not condemn an innocent child to hell.<\/p>\n

One last text is Mark 16:16 which says, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be damned” Again belief comes before baptism here “He who believes and is baptized” An infant is incapable of belief, therefore an infant cannot be baptized.<\/p>\n

Where do unbaptized babies go after death <\/h3>\n
