What happens in the tragic event that an unborn child dies?  What about a young child who doesn't have an understanding of the world?  Do we have any assurance of salvation for them?

On this episode, we address the question, "Do babies go to heaven?"   This question is a tough one for many because our gut wants to say yes, but what does the Bible actually say about it?  We know that Jesus is the way, truth, and life, but if a child doesn't understand, does that still apply?  We also discuss the concept of the age of accountability and whether that concept is biblical or not.  We also touch on how this applies to those who are mentally disabled.  Many doctrines, including infant baptism, were adopted hundreds of years ago because the church has had trouble answering this exact question.  Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.

The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
