Article 17: The Salvation of the Infants of Believers

Since we must make judgments about God's will from His Word, which testifies that the children of believers are holy, not by nature but by virtue of the gracious covenant in which they together with their parents are included, godly parents ought not to doubt the election and salvation of their children whom God calls out of this life in infancy.

We shouldn't question because we cannot get an answer. However, if God may not pass over an infant born of a believer then God is not God. The Hodges believed that all infants, pagan descent and Christian descent, are saved through premature death. I find this without warrant. Is God required to extend grace to fallen infants in Adam? Hey, if God ordains the damnation of some children, he's doing them a favor by not letting them live -- for an extended life would only increase their eternal penalty.

Peace in Christ,
