Since all men are born into sin and are condemned by that sin even before they actually commit any sin, if a baby is born dead, does the dead baby displease God? Or is a dead baby "born again" before it is born the first time? Is it's physical birth then its born again experience?

Have dealt with this issue before so this will be brief.

[1] I believe all, including infants are guilty of Adam's sin.

[2] I find no age of accountability explicitly taught in Scripture.

[3] David was confident he would see his deceased newborn son again.

[4] I can not answer the question of infants dying as infants, beyond the hope David expresses.

[5] I opt rather to entrust the answer to God, Who is sovereign, loving and just. Whatever the answer, it will conform to His character.

I am familiar with the range of answers to your question but none of them satisfy me biblically.
