Bible Answers:
Certainly not! Our Saviour said of the children...

Matthew 19:13-15 KJV
[13] Then were there brought unto Him little children, that He should put His hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
[14] But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
[15] And He laid His hands on them, and departed thence.

Matthew 19:13-15 NLT
13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so He could lay His hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering Him.
14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
15 And He placed His hands on their heads and blessed them before He left.

All mankind after Adam, have been born under the curse of sin.

Romans 5:17-19 KJV
[17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
[18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
[19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Romans 5:17-19 NLT
17 For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and His Gift of Righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.
19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.

I Corinthians 15:22 KJV
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Though all are born under sin, a child has not reached the age of accountability, to make spiritual, moral decisions.

Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world.

I Timothy 2:6 KJV
Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

I Timothy 2:6 KJV NLT
He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.

John 1:29 KJV
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

I John 2:1,2 KJV
[1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous:
[2] And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Someone's being forever lost is predicated upon two things.
1)Under the curse of sin.
2)Rejection of the Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Little children, though under the curse of sin, have not rejected the Saviour.
They are saved, by the precious blood of Christ.

When a child grows into a young man or woman, and has reached the age of accountability, then the decision is theirs, to accept or reject the Saviour of the World.

Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
