To say that infants must act in faith to receive God’s saving grace is to miss the forest for the trees. Does not God’s grace lead to faith? Could it be in a very real sense that infants have only faith because within them there is no conscious ability to do anything but accept what only God can supply, namely grace?

If infants are saved then there are two ways of salvation: 1) by grace through faith, and 2) by grace with no faith required.

Dr. Akin,
Thank you for this post. I respect and appreciate your comments on this important topic. I have a question in regards to your discussion of original sin. You say: “While all are guilty of original sin, moral responsibility and understanding is necessary for our being accountable for actual sins.” I understand that infants are not capable of actual sins, but what is done about the guilt incurred for original sin? This is one topic that tends to pull me toward a universal view of the atonement where forgiveness of sin is appropriated to those who have faith, of which infants and some mentally handicapped are incapable. Therefore, in this view, the guilt of original sin is covered under the atonement. Thank you again Dr. Akin for this resource.
