    That is a fact no matter how you look at it.
    Salvation is of the Lord..
    If God elected all....all will be saved.
    If He did not elect any ....none would be saved.
    All sinned and died in Adam.
    All who are saved are saved by mercy and grace.

    And I don't dispute that. But there is also nothing to suggest that infants that die are somehow elect. That's reading into Scripture.

    Hello r1689,
    No need to read into it at all....
    The statement is carefully worded....it does not say...infants who die.

    It says....ELECT INFANTS DYING IN INFANCY.

    I saw your comment earlier.

    If elect infants exist.....the number of them and their location of them are known to God.They would be in scripture in Hebrews2:13-16.

    Do you know of any person who becomes saved that was not given by the Father to the Son?

    You are confusing civil law with God's manner of dealing with the wicked. It is a huge mistake on your part.

    It's no realistic if God visits the iniquity of the fathers unto the children of the 3rd and 4th generations of those who hate him.

    “The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.Numbers 14:18 (KJV 1900)

    They are most likely Amyraldian 4 point "Calvinists" which is nothing more than Arminianism with a better smokescreen.

    You are confusing civil law with God's judgment of the wicked.

    Absolutely solely of the Lord.
    Since all are not going to be saved, then all are not elected.
    That is also not the case, Ephesians 1:4.
    Not being guilty for Adam's sin. But having a sinful nature because of Adam's sin, Romans 5:12, Ezekiel 18:20.
    Absolutely. Ephesians 2:8, ". . . that not of yourselves . . . ."

    Deuteronomy 24:16 is given as civil law to Israel.
    But Ezekiel 18:20 goes with Ezekiel 18:4 and Ezekiel 18:32. Has to do with how God is about sin.

    You do not understand the difference between God's cursing entire families and Israeli Civil Law. This is dangerous as it is two different situations and misrepresents God if you do not keep them separate.

    The decendants will be permitted to take up the same type of sins of their father's because of their father's hatred of God.

    What it says and what it is interperted to mean are two distinct issues. Names blotted out from the foundation of the world are not written from the foundation of the world. Neither are names never written, if that be the case. Now if the names were never written, then that would mean even a general redempion is a limited atonement. Names either blotted out or never written. Psalms 69:27-28, Revelation 3:5.

    Matthew 22:14, "For many are called, but few are chosen."

    It does not say this. It says he curses entire generations for the sins of the father.

    So what? It cannot mean contrary to what God says, Ezekiel 18:20, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."

    You are quoting civil law. Not the Ten Commandments and the threat God makes to the fathers who hate him. You grossly misrepresent God.
