- How does God judge aborted babies, infants, the mentally challenged, and others who are unable to respond to the gospel? Does the Bible support the idea of an "age of accountability"?
Dr. David K. Bernard tackles this age-old question by examining what the Bible says about God's judgment, grace, and love.

The knowledge God has given Brother Bernard never ceases to amaze me.
He is wrong here. Babies do not go to heaven.
And wisdom.
I've always been curious and wanting answers about this topic. When I asked my Pastor, he told me that the child's fate, wether saved or not, is dependent on the parents salvation. My heart's heavy and I just can't accept it knowing God is merciful and just, we can't even fully grasp that. This 11 min talk just clarified things for me. I'm thankful for Dr. David Bernard, his leadership and wisdom. What a great man of God ❤️❤️
14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Matthew 19:14
yes but when does a child stop being a child,big question,
Yes please Lord may my baby be in heaven he's only two days old. I loved to meet him in heaven. Love you so much my baby.
@@eisbeinGermany when the baby becomes mature and will have consciousness, can repent and believe for baptism!
1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Luke 3:3 (KJV) And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Mark 16:16 (KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Acts 19:2-6 (KJV)
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Babies, young children, and those individual with severe mental disabilities don’t have the physical capability to accept or reject Jesus. Therefore, God is merciful and grants them immediate salvation into paradise upon death.
Thanks for your God-given wisdom Bro. Bernard! This would be a great help for everyone!
Thank you for posting this! After reading through the entire Bible I had the exact same impression, but I don’t always hear it preached with the same amount of mercy.
Yes amen
This was good timing , i have been studying the topic of Original Sin, and PSA- penal substitutionary atonement, from both the Eastern Orthodox and Augustine viewpoints.
I was 10 when I was Baptized and I had a few things to repent of.
James 4:17
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
I love this podcast!
Rev Bernard very enlighting and needful alot of concern and question out here concerning this matter thk you God Bless 🙌🙏❤
Thank you Rev Bernard..I found the answer for my question and request I ask you yesterday..God Bless you always Rev.
These topics are very sensitive.
Good Word...
Wonderful
They didn't have RUclips back then, so they had no way of hearing the Gospel in some countries.
Romans 2:14
“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:”
Accountability isn't just a physical age. It's all about conscious thoughts & actions.
Just because we think somebody isn't intellectually capable of rationalizing sin doesn't mean it's true.
Amen 🙏
Exactly !. Very scriptural.
You need to have more relevant resources sir to answer that question but I salute your leadership and your Christian attitude!
Making my comment first before playing this video.. my own knowledge of understanding of the word of God.. about children.. is the mind of a child is probably closer to God than we can even fathom.. from what I understand the scripture says.. that's my own understanding. Is that a child or anyone with a child like mind is very close to God.. if we can keep our minds in all loving works towards God as children do.. then we would most certainly be a better population of species before our passing.. the child would be closer to God than we can imagine..
Good lesson, I always receive this question concerning children going to heaven.
One reason is b/c the Bible mentions "evil in their youth" several times. Many times children-youth were destroyed with family or destruction of colonies. Gen 8:21 is one always is asked b/c it states God did destroy youth, but only repented of not destroying the earth and every living thing. However, "every living" must not have included man or man child per say throughout the Bible.
I would love to see him debate Jeff Durbin.. on the oneness of God ! I love being Apostolic 💓
2 Samuel 12:22-23 “And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall GO TO HIM, but he shall not return to me.”
To the grave?
I have a question for David K Dernard. He says that children who grow on pentecostal homes could be filled with the Holy Ghost at an earlier age. Does this mean that the children are saved because they are filled with the Holy, even without obeying Acts 2:38? Secondly, what about adults who say they have received the Holy Ghost, but resist Acts 2:38, stick ING to their baptism according to Matthew 28:19?
What about 1 Cor where it says else we’re your children unclean but now are they holy I agree with pastor Bernard what that child go in the rapture?
Are they seeds that are fallen on different grounds?..
under the law baby is righteous and will be with Lord eternally
They are adults that have no idea there are sinning so will they be in heaven too? Reference check Luke 23:34
At 3:10 and everything else seems to be "conviniently taken" to support a well held belief
You are held accountable if you dont know by the way luke12:48
Jesus said suffer little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven
I believe when à child becomes understanding of right and wrong then that child becomes responsible for the sin it has committed
While it's great that unborn babies do, I still have 2 questions:
1. If they automatically go, with no chance to choose, then how does "He doesn't force us"/"We must learn why sin is bad"/etc. work for them?
2. Can they earn any Judgment Seat rewards, or are they robbed by something they can't help (i.e., not living here)?
I have the same questions
How come some children are predestined like jeremieah1:5, how come John recognised Jesus in the womb Luke 1:41-44
How come the bible says all man have sinned?
Will listen later. At work right now. Comment now.
Lost a grandchild. Was In Nic unit. He was dying. All purple one day. I had made sure I dedicated him. Prayed for him. Don't remember which juncture but I turned and I saw beings come into that tall nic unit. They were tall and skinny. As tall as the high ceiling. White with grayish spots. Several of them. 4,5 or 6 They had come for him. I have info at house. I kept notes. I don't remember which day. But I think after. I went sleep in the waiting area. They told me next morning that a miracle had taken place. He was alive. They had not expected him to last the night. A miracle. He was no longer purple. Skin a good color.
The day he did die my sister said, He's in a better place." When she said that I felt the Holy Ghost quicken me.
Really made sure I dedicated my premie grandson. Had a supernatural visitation. One miracle and another I am almost positive remembering. Prayed for him over the phone and the epileptic fits stopped.
Thanks for the vivid explanation by way of biblical approach of the plight of children who died while still at the stage of innocence. I'm clarified. I could spare the same whenever I meet such scenario to comfort the bereaved for the demise of a child.
Amen
1 Corinthians 7:14
KJV
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Yes but then the child went to jesus without choosing so where its childs freedom to chose god
If babies go to heaven if they die, shouldn't the Bible say that somewhere? I wonder why it doesn't.
Omniscient Creator God is not unfair that He will hold children who know nothing about sins and their consequences, ACCOUNTABLE for any sins.
Luke 23:34
If Jesus died for the whole world than it seems he failed if even one person goes to hell
There are indications in the Bible that those who died without knowing or accepting Christ will be resurrected and taught about Christ for the first time. Christ taught that the people of Sodom will repent in the Last Great Day.
This topic is a hard one to swallow. I'm apostolic and this topic has always been a difficult one to have. Either to disprove or prove, we all can't be for sure.
I will say that the verses that settles it for me are these
John 3:5 KJV
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Psalm 51:5 NKJV
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Psalm 58:3, John 9:35, Rom 3:23, and...
Proverbs 22:15 NKJV
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him. -which is the same as evil
So anyone who is born of a woman by a early father is born in sin. And John 3:3 clearly teaches that EVERYONE must be "BORN" again. That means that anyone born must be born AGAIN.
John 3:3 NKJV
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
If God somehow does something different other than what he said must happen to enter the kingdom, then I'm ALL FOR IT!!!! However, I can only go off of what I read and understand.
God is a righteous Judge and everyone not written in the book of life will be judged according to their works.
God is a righteous Judge and everyone not written in the book of life will be judged according to their works.
baby that cannot even speak he's not
Age of accountability is 20. Those under 20 were taxed, voted and entered the promised land.

Amen
