Something slightly relevant to consider are the words King David found in 2nd Samuel 12:23. 2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
(e-Sword: KJV)
I don't get it. Please elaborate.
My understanding is that it implies he(the son who died) had gone to heaven.
But I am just recalling from memory one of Chuck Swindoll's messages.
It is my personal belief that those who die at a young age and have not had the opportunity to, or understanding of, accepting Christ, do indeed go to Heaven.
But like I said, tricky subject.

"bar mitzvah" literally means "one to which the Commandments apply", or something close to that...
