Bible Note: Greetings Angel! You wrote: "to strictly obsever Scripture, all affluent Christians must bring to their congregation their wealth and distribute it equally among its members!..." Yet, there is no such command in Scripture. We certainly have a narrative passage indicating that this was done at one time, in one place. However, there is no command given for Christians to do the same. :-) Now, concerning salvation of infants, I too believe that infants are saved. However, there is a solid theological grounds for such a position. It is that the atonement covers them. If you look up 'age accountability', you will see many posts that deal with this issue. This is vastly different than saying that infants are given a second chance after they die. :-) Your Brothers in Christ, Tim Moran |
