Religion and Theology All infants are innocent regardless of religion. Everyone is born guiltless and free from any sin. Therefore, it does not matter whether the infants are born of a Christian family or not, when they perish they all go to heaven. Baptism is essential for every newborn baby as it ensures the cleansing of sins, which may have been inherited from their parents (Boyd & Paul 224).Jesus said those who are humble and meek like the little children would inherit the kingdom of God. He said this, because he knew little children are innocent and not guilty of any sin (Boyd & Paul 224).

Infants should be allowed to mature, to the age where they can distinguish right from wrong, that is when they should be judged. Infants can hardly distinguish right from wrong they require protection at that age. This is so, because they hardly know anything.Regardless of whether infants are baptized or not they will still inherit the kingdom of God, if they die at that age (Boyd & Paul 225). This is because they are innocent and blameless. Jesus Christ loved little children and always taught his teachings giving examples on children.

He loved them because they are humble and innocent.Many people argue that infants who are not baptized will not go heaven, because it is believed that the sins of their fathers are transferred to them. This is not true, Jesus Christ died for all our sins, and he broke all curses when he was crucified (Boyd & Paul 226). Thus, all infants are freed from the sins of their fathers, because Jesus Christ broke all the curses on the cross.In my opinion, all infants who die at a tender age are little angels and make it straight to heaven.

They are normally guiltless, and very innocent God loves them very much.Work citedBoyd, Gregory & Paul, Eddy. Across the spectrum: understanding issues in evangelical theology. Grand Rapids, Mich: Baker Academic, 2009. Print.
