Protestants never bought into limbo because there is no mention of limbo in the Bible. In fact, the Bible says that Jesus stated that babies go to heaven. As He was ministering to little children, Jesus said of the children: ". .of such is the kingdom of heaven."...Therefore, Protestants, with that biblical information from the lips of God incarnate, have never held to a limbo state for unbaptized babies. Instead, they have always believed that infants who die go directly into the presence of the loving God. The children have had no power of choice, deciding right or wrong, for their cognitive powers have not matured to that level. Therefore, in their innocence, they are welcomed into eternal bliss.

There are misconceptions on the Protestant side as well. This was never the original Protestant view. Luther and Calvin carried over the tradition of baptizing babies from the Roman Catholic Church but the position was that it was up to God whether a baby made it to heaven.

This is the logical view. What a waste of time it is to debate the unknown. Our beliefs don't change spiritual realities, which at this point, are really unknown to us.

The catholic church teaches of original sin, the kind that adam and eve bestowed upon the entire human race. When I attended catholic school, we were taught that if an infant was NOT baptized, to remove original sin, they went to LIMBO, for a period of 'undisclosed' time to pay for the original sin, Now, New belief is stating otherwise??? weird....
