Which infants that have died, that are recorded in the bible, have been elect, or not elect?

Unfortunately you're asking me to explain something that is a mystery which only God knows. We don't know who the elect are. We only know the things that He has revealed.

Since you haven't answered my first question to you but have moved on to the second one you are missing an important point. That is that infants and adults are part of mankind, not a seperate commodity. Thus they are included in what Scripture tells us about all mankind.

There is none righteous God says, no not one! He didn't say that there are none righteous except babies. Those are the thoughts of men, not of God! There is none righteous, and that includes children (despite what some may claim). Romans 5:12 says: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." It doesn't say "all except for children," it says all.

Some try and circumvent Scripture by saying, Child Salvation only lasts until they reach a certain age or accountability, and then their Salvation simply disappears? God's Word doesn't teach about vanishing Salvation at age 4, 7, or 12. God's Word says He is both the author (starter) and finisher of our faith! God's Word says he is always with us and will never leave us! God's word speaks of eternal life, not temporary life dependant on our age. God says no one can pluck them out of His hand. How can we then conclude something else?

John 10:28

"And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."

Do we say, "that's not true what God says about them never perishing, and having eternal life?" Does never perish now change to, "Oops, they just might?" If all children were indeed under God's Salvation, then they would never perish and have everlasting life, and no one could pluck them out of God's hand. And that would mean every man woman and child in the world (we were all once children) are Saved, and will never perish.

We shouldn't assume what Scripture doesn't teach.
