Subject: Babies in heaven when they die? |
Bible Note: That isn't exactly it. God regenerates elect infants, whoever they may be. Christian parents have a right to expect the salvation of their children while unbelieving parents do not. This does not mean that God saves no children of unbelieving parents, only that they have no right to expect it. You are correct in saying that the WCF is not canon. No one believes that. I myself take issue with it on several points (six day creation, the immortality of the soul, Scripture as the source of all knowledge), and recognize that it is not a perfect document. I simply believe that it is one of the best, completest crystallizations of correct, Biblical doctrine. It's nothing more than that. If you'd prefer the Belgic Confession, the Second Helvitic Confession, the French Confession, the Canons of Dordt, the Heidelburg Catechism, or some other Reformed confession, I can gladly go there for support. I can even do better than that. Read the Canons of Council of Orange from 529 AD, written against the damnable heretic Pelagius. Beautiful, except for the last paragraph. |
