Have dealt with this issue before so this will be brief.

[1] I believe all, including infants are guilty of Adam's sin.

[2] I find no age of accountability explicitly taught in Scripture.

[3] David was confident he would see his deceased newborn son again.

[4] I can not answer the question of infants dying as infants, beyond the hope David expresses.

[5] I opt rather to entrust the answer to God, Who is sovereign, loving and just. Whatever the answer, it will conform to His character.

I am familiar with the range of answers to your question but none of them satisfy me biblically.

I have the same problem with Calvinism. While the strident Calvinists seem to have all the answers, none of them are biblically satisfactory.

Agreed, but the description of God under the definitions of Calvinism shows a God who is soverign to the exclusion of being loving and just; a god who created most of mankind for the sole purpose of burning them in hell for eternity merely for the good pleasure of his will. Sorry but that is out of character for the God of the Bible. I am certain it is out of character for the God you worship as well.

Hi drsteve...from documents I've read about Calvin, he seemed to be a strong believer in infant baptism. Do most Calvinists today hold to that view?
