There are a few scriptures in the Bible similar to....

Acts 11:14; and he will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.'
Luke 19:9; And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

Which seemingly seem to say that just because you are a believer, everyone in your family will automatically be saved.
But after going back and looking many of these passages, it seems their families were also believers.

Acts 10:2; a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.

Acts 16:15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.
Acts 16:34 And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

Perhaps the thought here is, if the head of the family is a believer then there is a good chance the the rest of the family will be believers also.
We live in a society today where everything is questioned with scepticism. Young people are discouraged from following family values and taught
to "find your own way" and "believe in your own thing". It seems that because the parents are believers, it doesn't necessarily mean the children
will be.
 
I believe household salvation. Because I am saved I can ask God to give them to my inheritance. Even my granddad got saved just before he died. He was an antitheist who tried to pull you from your faith. The night before he died God said to me: you've got the keys. Use them. Tomorrow will be too late.
Rahab's whole family got saved. I don't think it's automatic, but you have to bind the demons that blind em and pray God opens their eyes.


Psalm 2:8

I saw in a very old book from my mom's mother that she prayed for her grandkids and I wasn't even born yet.

Before I got kids and God said I should get kids, I said: only when they will always follow You.

If you gave your inheritance to another then you wouldn't have it. Besides you don't inherit the kingdom of God you have to be born into it.
 
Matt 25:34; "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
 
Matt 25:34; "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
I said Jesus what shall I say to this man for I know before you can inherit anything you have to be born so therefore you are born into the kingdom of God Even If you inherited but I do not want to argue with him so what do I say?

Jesus said to quote you your own words that you believe about the kingdom of God:
Not only do they sin, some in the kingdom of God are actually "tares" and "bad fish".

Matt 13:24; Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Matt 13:30; 'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

Matt 13:47; "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;
Matt 13:49; "So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,
Matt 13:50; and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Not only that, there was/will be a war in heaven with God and the angels that rebelled.

Rev 12:7; And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war,

The current heaven will be replaced with a new heaven one day.

1 Jn 1:8; If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
your own words is my witness against you.
 
Did I not tell you because of the Lord I never lose I always win no matter which way you go or what you do.
