In the scriptures it is said when the world is saved all souls will be with god. What about all the people who have yet to be born, do those souls exist now? If the world is eventually saved, will they never exist in the first place? Why do they not have a chance to be saved?

-I am not familiar with that passage, please elaborate where you got that.
What about all the people who have yet to be born, do those souls exist now?
-I would lean to the answer no. I believe at birth life is passed and for humans life is body and soul. But honestly I don't know. There is nothing in the Bible that I know of that talks about a soul before birth.
If the world is eventually saved, will they never exist in the first place?
-Once again I am not sure if souls exist beforehand or not.
Why do they not have a chance to be saved?
-Sin is passed down by birth. In Christian theology, babies are born into a sinful world and are sinful. Once again I am not sure if souls do exist before conception...I am not sure if they get delivered out upon birth. I am pretty sure that is a belief of Jehovah's Witnesses, but that is not something mentioned in the Protestant Bible, and as far as I know it is not found in the Catholic books either. But if souls do exist pre carnal birth, they wouldn't have been tarnished by the sin of man because it never took on carnal flesh and therefore would be with God in heaven. But once again just speculation since their is nothing written in the Bible about it.
Hope this helps.
