Would you give up your own salvation to insure you child’s? A gross question, I know. But if some Calvinists believe all children go to heaven shouldn’t we all be murdering our own children to insure there place in heaven? Why would we want them to reach adulthood and fall into the category of the predestined (for heaven or hell)?

Could you expound a bit on point three and show me from Romans 5 how we have a clear picture in favor of election in infant death? It seems to be glazed over, when it might be the pivotal text.

Also, talk of “actual sins” reminds me of Erickson’s focus on age of accountability and Smith’s use of Ez 18–which in turn make me question whether or not these views of inherited original corruption but not inherited guilt are semi-Pelagian.

Jesus made it quite clear in his life that mercy, love, and presence for the suffering was his purpose. Jesus loves the infants and little children and has a special place with him for them. I truly believe that some people are brought into this world on divine missions from God. Young children who die before truly knowing good from evil and being able to choose to be followers of God or evildoers were brought to this Earth to touch our lives during their life or their untimely death. Many people are brought to Christ because of tragedy for which the deaths of children are sometimes undoubtedly responisible for. These children had a divine purpose whether to touch one life or many and their place in heaven was assured from the day the were conceived. Never meant to stand trial before God and prove their worth by the merits of their life, these blessed souls were sanctified by their upright ways in life (since they never reached a point of spiritual maturity). Our merciful Jesus would never eternally punish an infant who was bludgeoned to death by her mother, the mother however is a different story.

correction to my last post one year for everyday the spies went out to see the promise land, the Isrealites would be in the wilderness one year (forty years) until all those twenty and up perished

Is it significant that in the old testement the Isrealites were numbered from the age of twenty and up? When God was Angry at the ten spies for leading them to believe they(Isrealites) would be taken over by the Giants in the Promise Land (foreshadow of Heaven), God said for forty years one year for every day the spies were gone they would be in the promise land, and during that time everyone that was numbered from twenty and up would perish and not see the promise land. The Isrealites were concerned with their children those nineteen and under God assured them the children would surely see the promise land(heaven. Was reading my Bible and wondered.
