Because David said what he did regarding his son, cannot be taken as the "norm" of how God acts, as he could have been told by God about his son's eternal state. One cannot base "theology" on a single verse, especially when the rest of the Bible says nothing.

Then enlighten me...

Luke 13:3, " I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" Luke 24:47, "and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem" Acts 2:38, "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in...

I am referring to the Calvinistic teaching of election.

The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste...

Don't try to understand God or all of His ways. We are responsible for what we are told in the Bible, and not make it up to answer questions. If evil has its "originating" in God, then, regardless of what words you might use, this makes God the AUTHOR of sin/evil! Which is a preposterous idea...

But, if all are sinners from conception, and these infants die before they can actually repent, which is a requirement for salvation, the we are saying that unrepentant sinners will be in heaven! My argument is, that as I have already shown from Scripture, all human must be born "neutral", as...

On the contrary, dear brother, I believe that ALL infants are saved, not because they are "elect" which has zero Scripture support, but because they have not yet done "any wrong", as Deuteronomy 1:39, "And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today...

Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”" Jesus became a "curse" on our behalf (this is the force of the preposition "for"), not for any sins of His own, as He is 100% sinless!

I must come back to this. if we are all sinners "at conception", and not simply of a "sinful nature" where no actual sins have been committed. Then infants who are also "sinners", who die in infancy, are going to heaven as unrepentant sinners? Does this mean that repentance is not necessary for...

Are you saying that the Holy Spirit is not a distinct Personal being, to the Father and Jesus Christ?

Agree, but the Gospel of Jesus has the power to salvation through conviction of sin

His infant does not mean all?

The Bible says that "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ", which is the "power of God to salvation".

No. God USED them for His purposes.

taking your reasoning, then all, including infants will be damned who are not born-again, because they are "sinners" from conception? This is the double-talk of Calvinism!

Sure, so there has to be "free will", to either "accept" or "reject"?

Sure, but this condemnation is due to their not believing and has nothing to do with God not electing them! It says "believeth not", not cannot believe, but they choose not to.

I take it that you don't accept the Holy Trinity. Three "Persons", One Godhead

No Holy Spirit?
