Do try to understand, those who died before Christ we say they were in a limbus patrum, which IS doctrine, which IS the place where they were in as they could not enter Heaven until redemption by Jesus Christ made it possible. That should be clear,right?

There is another definition limbus infantum. The second limbus infantium isa hypothesis about the permanent status of the unbaptized who die in infancy, too young to have committed personal sins, but not having been freed from original sin.

It is NOT doctrine.

do you follow? two different.

To: Cronos

The Bible makes clear that those who died before Christ were dead in their graves awaiting resurrection from the memorial tombs.(John 5:28,29)
As Peter said (Acts 2:29-36)of both Christ and King David, they were in Hades or as it translated often into English, “hell”. No limbo of any kind.
Since David was in his tomb and not in heaven (Acts 2:34) he would have to await that general resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous Paul spoke of. (Acts 15:24)

There is no limbo to be found in the Scriptures no matter whose doctrine it is.
That is quite clear, yes.
