I heard that since we are born with original sin, we have to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. The only way is through him according John's gospel. If a child dies early, with the sin and not accepting Christ. What happens to them?
And I'm not a troll like the idiotic Magooga, I actually want to learn so someone please explain and bring your sources.
Thanks.

Some denominations will baptize children specifically for that reason, but I believe it's a choice you have to consciously make. Matthew 18 " At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. 6 But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." I think children do go to Heaven. They have innocence, and I'm sure God would be forgiving of a child.
