    You know, there are some of you who are certain you have the "right" answer. Do you really think you have the mind of God? Do you really know what God thinks? Didn't he say that his ways were higher than our ways, his thoughts were beyond our thoughts? Yes, there are things that are written in the Bible...however, it's not everything. So, instead of making pronouncements regarding what God does or does not do, admit that you just really don't know.
    Also, regarding infants. There is an age of accountability, where one is aware of sinning. Is an infant capable of that?

    What is your complaint? If you care to check your Bible you will see that it is in there. Here is my previous thread

    I believe babies go to Heaven because babies need a Savior too, just like I do, but I also believe, in their form in Heaven they won't be babies and if you look at the scene in Revelation 7, show me a baby?... There are no infants in Heaven only saved saints... Brother Glen:)

    Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

    7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

    And how do you conclude from the term multitude that it does not include babies and children? Your belief that babies will be in heaven is based on what Scriptures

    exagorazo does not signify the actual "redemption," but the price paid with a view to it, lutroo signifies the actual "deliverance," the setting at liberty. W e Vine Expository Dictionary

    I think we need to be careful with this. Is there Scripture to back this up?

    There is the exact same amount of scriptural support for the statement, “all infants dying in infancy are elect and will be saved”.

    peace to you

    Would say that the LORD, as in God the Father, would choose to apply effectual saving grace towards infants....

    I prefer latter choice as fitting the revealed nature of God to us!

    I believe that as well, but acknowledge very little scripture concerning this specific issue.

    peace to you

    You admit to being a universalist.

    Reformed is dead on. You are attempting to have semantic split ends to your hair, but the bottom line is you teach Pelagian theology and universalism, two doctrines rejected by the church.
