Bible Note: Dear Sir Pent, I read the article you recommended and it is a comfort for parents and grandparents alike. Nevertheless, the author was careful to say that it is his opinion and not a Scriptural doctrine. When I first faced this question of infant salvation I was disappointed to discover that a definitve answer cannot be deduced from scripture alone. I wrestled with it for some time seeking an answer. I finally found one!Genisis 18:25 "That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Of course the answer is YES!!! He shall do right. I decided to trust Him in all things. Rom 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Your Brother, John |
