The position I have stated does not imply nor state anybody deserves to be in heaven.

The position I have stated does not imply nor state anybody deserves to be in heaven.
Infants, regardless of their names in the Book of Life, are considered to not yet be accountable for Divine good works, simply because they are not yet of age and accordingly, God is free to bless them with eternal life in heaven without encroaching upon His holiness, integrity, or righteousness.

The inference is that they deserve to be saved because they are not Judged , but found worthy due to their age or mental status. If an infant is worthy of salvation it is not by the grace or mercy of God, because they would not be judged.They simply deserve to be saved ...

You have said that God is FREE to "bless "them... not to give them mercy...bless them

Could God decide not to "bless " them"?

The non scriptural belief in the age of "accountability " makes God the debtor of the child.He owes them salvation based on something other than His mercy .

Before one can receive Mercy he must be judged guilty before the judge.. no judgment no mercy .

Can you give me scripture where the age of accountability is taught? Can you give me scripture that says all infants are written in the "Book of Life". That would mean salvation is their to lose, not Gods to give.
