Thanks for the discussion; it has been quite informative.
I have said this before and I will say it again. I have yet to find even one pastor or theologian I always agree with. I love people like Sproul, Spurgeon and a many others such as Voddie Baucham. I adhere to the 1689 LBCF, but I can not say I agree with all of it. On Spurgeon, he believed that all babies dieing in infancy, automatically go to heaven. I disagree with that view, not because I don't think it is possible. Rather, because from my knowledge of Scripture, I find it overly optimistic and emotionally driven. When I tell some that, they say how could I take comfort (not exact term) in knowing there might be babies in hell?
I usually just say, that although I understand the sentiment. I take comfort that regardless, God is sovereign and He is good in all He does. I do not think the Bible states either way on the issue. Many times, I hear people say that since David said he was going to see his baby in heaven, we can be confident all babies who die in infancy go to heaven. However, I question if that is not reading too much into the text. A few of my Reformed friends who used to think the same way I do on that subject; now agree with Spurgeon. Perhaps I will one day as well?
