~ Children In Heaven ~ 2 Cor 1:3-4

[LukeL007]

Your daughter has not reached the age of accountability nor can she make the choice to come to Christ. Therefore she lacks the capacity to sin or be judged. Some believe that those who lacked the mental capacity to come to Christ will be given that chance during the 1,000 year reign. I cannot site scripture as I am unfamiliar with this doctrine.

Hi,

I long to see the lord's appearing, with all my heart. However, I can't get past my intense fear of what will happen to my little girl who is 10 months old. I know that she will be raptured too.. I guess I have just been feeling very overwhelmed because, as a new parent, my desire to protect her and my love for her comes second to only God.

I wonder what will happen to my little girl during the rapture. Will she be separated from me in the Lord's presence? Will I still be her mother? I know that there is no marriage in heaven so how does that affect other family relationships?

Any insight would ease my burdened heart. thank you.

No matter how things happen remember there is no worry in heaven and no need. Imagine having been working in a mud pit in 105 degree weather sweat dirt mud in places that haven't even seen the light of day. Then going through a hot shower being totally washed and refreashed from that long days work. That is what it will be like in heaven. A cleansing and wash from all the hard work. No insecurities or worries. Never would you worry aout her talking to a stanger as none are stangers and all are brothers and sisters in heaven. Never to worry about kidnapping and knowing this one thing heaven is for forever. forever means there is never a worry of lost time as there is no time. It is a place where there is constant service to God and to holiness. No ilness no pain no worries imagine all the bad things in the world and then never ever seeing nor worring about those things. Only righteousness. Ask yourself this what is less then righteousness. The answer simply is this unrighteousness. Again if there is only righteousness then you can see what I am trying to say

Mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.


Here are two Verses for you to consider. I know that Jesus Loves your little Girl even more than you do and I mean that to comfort you.
I heard an explanation once about all the unborn babies that have been aborted and that will be in Heaven with us and how they will have new bodies also just like us.
As the verse in 1 Jn above states - at the Rapture we shall shed these old bodies and aquire New bodies that are like the angels and like Jesus and the same will happen to your baby girl. As stated in the verse above I'm not sure now how it will work but I know that His love for us and our love for Him and each other can only intensify after the Rapture.

I'm so looking forward to that day!

Is that given the chance or required to make a decision? So babies taken in the Rapture have to do it all over again? :thinking That doesn't sound right at all.

Hi Sis!

Geepers, what a question and I just don't know of any scripture that answers your question completely and concisely.

That they will "... neither marry, nor are given in marriage... ", doesn't sound like it addresses the issue of those that are married and raptured up together.

As for your "little one", again I know of no concise and definitive answer. I have always assumed those raptured with their parents would continue to be raised by their parents in heaven. There is not, to my knowledge, definitive scripture to that effect. :scratch

I would rest assured, I believe, that He will have the perfect solution. :hug

[Jennifleur]

As Caver said, I don't believe there is any Scripture that we could give at this point, so all we can do is post our own understandings and opinions. I personally believe that we will have all of our memories of our lives here on Earth, so you would be quite aware that she is your daughter. And as parental love will still exist in Heaven, as we are God's children and we love our Father (which won't change), I'd imagine that same love will be there as well. I don't think that you will feel fear if you are separated from her in Heaven for a time, but I'm also pretty confident that it won't be difficult to find her if you are. As for how we will relate to everyone outside of immediate family, I'm sure that we will see them all as our brothers and sisters. As for husbands/wives, boyfriends/girlfriends, I'm sure there will still be an extra-special connection there, but only existing as friendship. You will probably remain quite close to those people, as you have shared so much with them, but there won't be anything romantic to said friendships and closeness.

Like I said, there is no Scripture to back this up. This is merely my thoughts on how things might be. But I believe you have little need to worry. :) :hug

Any pastor Monster's heard says if one's child is not to the age of accountability, he/she will be included in the Rapture. Age, 13, Monster has read is the accountability age!!

John 11

33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35Jesus wept.

This was in the story of Lazarus... Jesus wept not for Lazarus, but for the grief and sorrow that Lazarus' sister was experiencing...... He knows our sorrow and our pain. I don't know what relationship you will have with your daughter in Heaven, but He will not let you have sorrow.... I personally think you will know her and be with her for eternity..... :hug

I believe that the lessons of Passover could apply to children in the Rapture. Just as the children of the Israelites were covered by the faith of their parents (who applied blood to the doorposts and lintel to save their firstborn) perhaps God will reckon our belief and spare our innocent children in the Rapture.

I believe these children will be sanctified by the faith of their parents.... I'm not sure where I got this scriptually.... I'll see if I can find anything to back this up, not sure... Maybe someone else more versed could chime in on this... sanctification...
