Mathew 18:5: "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me".
'One such little child' refers to any child & all little children. It is in this background that Jesus says 'one of these little ones which believe in me (Mathew18:6)' to refer to all little children.
This is clear proof Jesus says all little children believe in Him.
So reply rather than accuse.

Is that how you understand Romans 2. 14 - 16?
For when the Gentiles which have not the law do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law are a law unto themselves.
Which shew that the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Their justification comes from having the work of the law written in their hearts as shown by their works.
... you have been made to consider this scripture and not just pass over it.

Well you say scriptures do not raise questions, do not need explanation. What does Romans 2. 14 - 16 say to you? it is very plain. The problem is it doesn't fit in with your doctrine or for that matter the doctrines concerning the last judgement generally taught by evangelicals.
You have it all nicely worked out pat, the sheep are the church, they's saved, the goats are everybody else they's damned.
I don't think so.
What you believe is what the church has taught since earliest times. But it has always stuck in the throat of anybody out winning souls. Because ...
Because it condemns BILLIONS of human souls to hell who never once heard the gospel. That cannot be right, and it isn't.
Romans 2. 14 - 16. is one good scripture that says so. .... there are others.

Romans2:14-16 implies moral law was chosen by all humans from Eve & none can escape condemnation without believing in Jesus who delivered us from the moral law according to Romans7:4,6.
Rom 1: 20:For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God
Does not get any simpler than this. Don't read to much into things.. Just take the word as it is written.
