Some say yes and some say no.  Scriptures can be found to support both sides.  The only fact that is important though is, God is a just God and NO ONE will be eternally seperated from His love and presence unless they choose to be by rejection of His Son.  When children are shown true love, they always respond positively.  I am convince that all children will go to heaven whether it be before or after the final 7 years of tribulation.

There is no reason for us to be concerned or worried about the matter...God is in full control of the outcome.

Amy, that was superb. Well done!

Do the adherents of the false religions put 2 and 2 together when the Christians and their kids are gone up?

I agree with earthsiege that this generation's "age of accountability" is probably lower than previous generations.  However, that being said, I do not believe Christ will leave my 2-year-old toddler behind in the Rapture.  BUT, I have a friend with a 5-year-old daughter who knows right from wrong, and chooses the wrong a lot of the time.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the ipods and the TV's and Internet, while they're certainly a factor.  I believe this generations' young parents coddling their children instead of correcting them are teaching the children to manipulate their parents through tantrums and endless crying to get what they want--like my friend's 5-year-old daughter.  And that opens the door to blatant sin at a younger age in my eyes.

oh my,why do you believe children are born sinfull.the lord created them in his secret place and the lord does not created anything sinfull.children are innocent,why would he leave innocent children behind that would be forced to take the mark of the beast and according to your beliefs be punished in everlasting torment and hellfire.do you think so little of god that he'd do that to innocent babies and children ?all children will be taken at the rapture.regardless of there parents beliefs.as for the age of accountability a child is still a child untill puberty.why would you think such evil of the lord.he is wholey good and light not darkness.wake up to your silly doctrines of man.

"oh my,why do you believe children are born sinful"

YES they are, I can provide scripture if you want Danielle

let me ask you this... Do you need to teach a child to be disobedient?  NO, its a natural thing, its called SIN.

All of us pre tribers bring up the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah as pictures for a pre trib rapture and that is accurate but we can not pick and choose what we like or what we think is just or fair, I dont read of any children of the wicked or lost being brought into the ark or spared with Lot, granted it was a different dispensation but God changes not and his judgements are righteous and just, He is GOD.

Danielle you need to read when GOD told Joshua to kill every man , woman and child in Canaan, so what does that mean??  Acoording to whatever doctrine you believe?

You say God does not create anything sinful... of course not, He did not create lucifer sinful, He did not create Adam sinful, they chose to disobey or rebel and became sinful , it was their choice and ver since the fall of Adam sin is carried to every human born of flesh, So why does Jesus say " ye must be bong again"?

But the questiion here is if the chidren of non believers will be left behind,

I believe based on scripture that they will, I could be wrong of course but that does not mean that if they die in the tribulation they are lost,  You say the age of accountabilty is puberty? do you have any scripture for that?

You are treating the love of GOD like a sentimental thing, feeling and emotions are tools that the enemy uses to deceive us.
