Already, the Church appears to be moving in the direction of abandoning the concept of limbo, a place where unbaptised babies go, because they are still in a state of original sin.

What is the difference between original sin and personal sin?

Original sin is the concept that through there disobedience toward God, Adam and Eve, took all of humankind out of communion with God and effectively opened the door for man to commit other sins. Generational sin is the concept that my father's sin will carry over to me and I will be held responsible for his actions. Generational sin, responsibility for my father's actions, outside of Original sin, is explicitly rejected in scripture (Ez. 18:17ff). To contrast the two, Original sin is separation from God that has occurred and remains until a person confesses their sins and accepts Jesus Christ's salvation and forgiveness and generational sin is an expression of "Christian Karma" that lacks Scriptural integrity.
