Hi All,

I was having this doubt in my mind for some time now. Thought of posting it in this forum and see if anyone could give me an answer based on the SCriptures.

What happens to the babies of Born-again Believers who will be raptured if Chirst comes today ?? The reason I ask only about the babies of Believers is because I understand that during rapture, only the church will be taken up and the world  will continue to go through the Tribulation. So the non-believers will still continue to live on this earth. So what will happen to the babies of ppl who have been taken up ?? Will they also be taken up or will the babies go through the tribulation period?? If the babies go through the tribulation then will they survive it ?? Please give an explantion that can be based on the SCriptures.

Thanks 

Probably this is a very old question, leading to the practice of child baptism.

Recently, in our bible class this subject came up and the teacher told that at rapture our babes would be left out as they are not part of the church. Further it was told that they can be saved during the tribulation period as the word of God still available.

A sister who attended the bible class was worried for her 2 year old son and told me that if her child is going to be left orphan, she is afraid of rapture.

What consolation do we have in this regard from the scripture, from our blessed God, “ even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; “

 Babies of Born again Believers are no different from babies of un-believers.

What is the difference between the “babies” born of believers from the babes of unbelievers?

What will happen to the babies of unbelievers? Is there any Biblical reference?

If some babies are taken up during rapture, would any baby be left behind at rapture as “all babies” are alike; whether born to believers or unbelievers?

Which is the verse that reveals the rapture of the “friends” of the Bridegroom?. Shall all the babies be considered as “friends” of the Bridegroom?

Dear brethren in Christ,

The scriptures says like this, in Mathew Ch:19

The Little Children and Jesus

 ¹³Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

 ¹⁴Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ¹⁵When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Yours in Christ

When David’s child died, the child was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. David comforted himself saying “I shall go to him” (2 Sam 12:23)

After writing about rapture, we are exhorted “wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thess 4:18). The message about rapture was to comfort, not to terrify. It is “the word of his grace”  

During exodus from Egypt, the babes of the children of Israel were not left to Pharaoh who had once ordered “if it be a son, then ye shall kill him”. In rapture, will our babes be left to Antichrist, then how can we “comfort one another with these words”.

It is hugely disturbing, disheartening and disconcerting to consider that some of my loving colleagues of many years, very good neighbors and caring uncles and aunts will be left to the Antichrist at rapture.
