Considering that the babies never sinned (as sin is a choice made to deviate from the perfection of God), then they would go to heaven.

They go to the same place children who die at the age of 1 or 2.
Wherever God takes them.
I'd like to think our God is merciful enough to bring them into heaven.
Unfortunately, the bible says nothing overt about this, and I'm not comfortable speaking for God where he has not spoken.

That was David lamenting over his adultry with Bathsheba (if I'm not mistaken. I know it was over some sin that he commited). The passage is poetic language, not to be taken literally.

starry_mist true, but they never believed that Jesus died on the cross either. They never sinned, and, thus, never needed to be saved from that sin.

I personally believe that they went to heaven.
Even though we humans are sinful by nature, if we never get the chance to act on it, I'm not sure how God would handle it. Although, once we're out of the womb, we sin pretty quickly (even a younger child knows how to lie or manipulate...).
But, I also think God would take the kid to heaven because the child never understood that they needed Jesus and that they had sinned.
But like others have said, I do feel kind of uncomfortable speaking for God on this, or anything that He himself didn't decree.

Berezi Even though we humans are sinful by nature How can humans be sinful by nature if we are (spiritually) made in the image of God?

If we weren't, there would be no point to the cross. Because then, if one simply never sinned, they'd get to heaven. But that is a good thing for me to think about. =)

fantrl Original sin. Adam screwed it up for us all. The original sin has/had no effect on humanity as a whole. It killed Eve and Adam, but not us.

It all depends on what you believe. Some people I know believe that baby's don't get a soul until a certain time so it all depends on what you believe. No matter how or why a baby is in the body and he/she dies it's spirit goes to heaven automatically.
