...you could write out a position paper on infant salvation ...so Pastor how about it?

Yes, I could, but there has been enough written by others...and your denigration is NOT appreciated.

Here is the issue Vern. The only way we have to measure our lives is by the word of God . The 10 commandments could be described as a proof text . We have to look at the weight of scripture to see the entire picture ..when there are several verses that display the same position , they are worthy of discussion not dismissal as a "straw man" or "proof texting"

All churches proof text in their belief statements (I invite you to re read the AOG statement ) They present a doctrinal stand and then give supporting texts.

Now if I wanted to dispute the doctrinal stand made by that proof text , I have a starting point in understanding their position .

In our discussion here you have not disputed one text..you have simply dismissed them as unimportant or" straw men" and substituting only your opinion.

vern that carries zero credibility next to the word of God.

I will be blunt and say I do not believe that you could write a position paper based on scripture because there is only one scripture that indicates salvation of an infant (Davids child) ., and that does not address if it is by "innocence" or grace.

I suspect that you well know that the bible stands fairly silent on that topic and what you express is a church tradition .

I would wager that you often preach an entire sermon on one proof text , so your position seems to be disingenuous .
