What happens, in your belief, to children who die before they can have the (Pauline) "saving faith?" It can't be known with certainty because God does not tell us in certain terms. However, I am more than comfortable with assuming that they are saved because that would be consistent by implication with the God who is presented to us in scripture. I just can't declare it as fact.

I think Palin was masterful tonight. If any woman could juggle all those responsibilities, Palin gives every indication of being that person.
The democrats must be petrified.

Amen. Believers have the same hope David was given. Infant salvation supports the fact that men are not saved by works of any kind, but by God’s grace alone.
