Amen Forest Keeper! My pastor, for over 50 years served a ministry to handicapped people, most with Down’s syndrome. I have seen with my own eyes that they are capable of coming to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God knit them in the womb same as the rest of us, for His glory.
Amen!
Sometimes it takes seeing the faith of someone who doesn't "reason" as well as we might for us to realize that faith itself is a free, unmerited gift of God's grace given to whom He will.
Faith doesn't require "reason." It requires grace.
“I have seen with my own eyes that they are capable of coming to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“And as He passed by, He saw a man which was blind from birth.
And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
What happens, in your belief, to children who die before they can have the (Pauline) "saving faith?"
