So what about my nephew who died of SIDS at three months. He did not believe in Christ, or anything else for that matter. Is he destined to spend eternity in Hades? Or how about the person who was never introduced to Christianity, but lived a wonderfully giving and righteous life, are they destined to an afterlife spent in Hell?
