Well, I agree with Spurgeon in the matter.

"I rejoice to know that the souls of all infants, as soon as they die, speed their way to Paradise. Think what a multitude there is of them!"

Even an "elect" infant, or fetus that has been torn apart in their mother's womb has not had the opportunity to be preached the gospel. They have not had any time to understand. Who is anyone to say that every infant that has died, for whatever reason, has not been elected by God? No one can even say that only elect infants go to heaven. No one has ever seen evidence of such a thing.

Yes we are born in sin.. I am not even saying we aren't, but in the same way that you say that somehow, mysteriously, an "elect" infant goes to heaven.. no one can say that every baby born and unborn that dies is not elect.

God obviously, since He is sovereign, is in control of who lives, who dies, and when.. and who is elect.
