Huh.... Pray who made that statement? Any scripture to back that up?
um...no
You could say that God has elected all infants that die. A person that goes to hell was never elected. It doesn't even make sense to say one was elect and then non elect. Either God chose before the foundation of the world or He didn't.
Thank you very much for answering my question. I don't think ewf saw the ? mark at the end of my question, not my statement.
As stated before, Im not ecumenicated like some in here so I is only giving my understanding. Besides neither Jakey or Hairy died as infants.
OK lets make it up close & personal. Its your infant & it dies in infancy. Where is it?:smilewinkgrin:
Romans 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth....
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
No they didn't die as infants, but they were chosen or not chosen before they were born. So do you think God chooses some infants for salvation and some for hell?
Calvinists use this verse to explain how God loves one person but hates another. To be consistent, a Cal should believe that God uses this same "choosing" whether one dies as an infant or an adult, yet many will say God saves all infants. Does that make sense to you?
Tell that to the 1689 Confessions of Faith
I only know about my own son's dying in infantry. And that is personal, Between Me & God & my faith that He is God & I am not.
I believe babies/infants go to heaven if that's what you are asking me.
Yes, that is what I am asking you.
Do you agree?
That is one question I am not telling you.
There are more things in heaven & hell that are dreamt of in your philosophy.
What do you mean "which is it?" They are not contradictory. Nobody is born saved. I believe babies/infants go to heaven. they were born unsaved. Christ's redemption on the cross covers their sins.
How does one who was born unsaved go to heaven before they have been saved?
God saves them.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Do infants have faith?
