“Little Children Are Alive in Christ”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Sometimes the questions are raised: Do all little children who die before achieving the age of accountability inherit the celestial kingdom? Will some have to he tested in order to achieve ultimate exaltation? Mormon stresses that all little children and all that “’are without the law” are alive in Christ because of His mercy. It is clear from Mormon’s words and modern prophetic commentary that all who die without accountability are incapable of sin and repentance and are “redeemed” and “alive in Christ”-meaning they inherit the celestial kingdom.
