John 3:5 Jesus says no one can enter into the kingdom of God unless he is born again of the water and of the Holy Spirit.

He did not exclude children from that statement. What happens to the infant or young child who, God forbid, dies before being baptised at 8 or 12 years of age? Please re-read John 3:5 before answering.

Let's supposed that 12 year old child is really into devil worship, wears Goth and blasphemes Christ and feels nor remorse about doing so, but you go ahead and baptise him, now what happens?
