Raptured Children

I am searching scripture looking for something that tells me that the children under the age of accountability will also be taken in the rapture. A friend asked me this and I told her that yes they would be removed at the rapture but could not back-up my statement with scripture that actually spells that out.

Q. I am searching scripture looking for something that tells me that the children under the age of accountability will also be taken in the rapture. A friend asked me this and I told her that yes they would be removed at the rapture but could not back-up my statement with scripture that actually spells that out.

A. The idea that children under the age of accountability will be taken in the rapture comes from two places. Matt. 18:10 says that all children have an angel in constant contact with the Father. This leads us to conclude that all children belong to God.

Paul confirmed this in Romans 7:9 when he wrote about being alive apart from the law but then the commandment came, sin sprang to life and he died. He was saying that before the age of accountability, he had eternal life. But as soon as he reached the age where he was accountable for his sins, he was scheduled for death.

By the way, I think the children taken in the rapture will include those still in their mothers’ wombs. There will be untold numbers of spontaneous deliveries and the world will be temporarily left without a single pregnant woman.
