Let's say you're in Heaven and your child dies and appears before Jesus. Your child has always believed in Jesus but also engaged in a sinful lifestyle right up to the moment that they died. If Jesus were to say to you "It is your decision as to whether your child spends eternity in Heaven or suffers for eternity in Hell". What outcome would you choose for your child?

One of the most difficult things for the flesh to do is to submit its will and mind to God. But when we do so, we learn repentance. Commit your choices to God, and let Him carry the responsibility. Agreeing with Him makes you bold, courageous, and right.

The problem with your question is you are looking at it from the wrong lens.

Scripture makes it clear there are the children of the devil and the children of God.

Matthew 13:38
The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

1 John 3:10
By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

hope this helps !!!

‘If you had the power, would you send/permit your child to go to Hell?’ You are asking for opinions yeah? (Imo) the question is not whether ‘if you had the power, would you send/permit your child to go to Hell?’ But instead, if you had the Power would you go to hell for your children?

I don't have any children; but I have heard that the love of a parent is such that they would indeed go to hell for their children if they could.

The Childs Soul will most likely go to purgatory not hell.

Bible clearly says that it's not for us to say who will go to Hell or Heaven.

Not many people go to Heaven in fact, remember the narrow Gate ? Bible says, There are few that find it.
