On July 27, 2013 a tragic accident took the lives of 4 people. Mrs. Tonya Weindrof, Chad and Courtney Phelps, and their unborn baby girl. Throughout history many people have asked the question, “Where do babies go when they die?” In a series of messages Pastor Chad called “Ask the Youth Pastor” Chad was asked this very question. On December 12, 2012 Chad answered that question this way:
“Where do babies go when they die? In all of human existence, I’m sure there is nothing more heart breaking than losing a God loves children: However, there is an age of accountability. Throughout Scripture, there does appear to be an “age of accountability,” obviously, even though every child is born into sin, a toddler cannot comprehend the gospel story! God recognizes this:Since salvation requires a confession of sin (1 John 1:9), and since it is clear that some children can’t even comprehend their sin, it seems clear that there must be an age for each child at which God holds them responsible for their comprehension of the gospel message. David offers hope that those who haven’t reached the age of accountability go to heaven: What joy and peace we have knowing that Chad and Courtney are worshipping Jesus with their daughter right now.
