I personally can't see babies going to heaven if they die unless they were chosen from the beginning.

I have a question for you, if you don't mind.

I think your argument falls flat here, with your comment above.

How can it be that anyone is saved, or born again, who doesn't believe? Are you assigning salvation to nothing more than God picking them?

It's a contradiction, do you see?

You are saying they would have to go to Hell because of their sin nature, yet the same would remain in place were they not born again.

Unless of course you consider Romans, where Paul says without the knowledge of the law, sin is not imputed.

But you don't consider that.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hm. What do you suppose that Paul means by this?

Let's consider a pagan cannibal in New Guinea who dies in 40 AD.
Per Romans, your thoughts?
