BTW SD, and I know this may seem heartless in our PC culture of today, but unlike MANY of the Calvinists I don't know whether every baptized baby is saved. And, quite frankly, neither does anyone else. There is nothing definitive in the scriptures to indicate this.

All I can say is that while God is sovereign, He is righteous and just and I have every bit of confidence that He'll sort it all out in the end.

John the Baptist and Jeremiah was indeed elected by God.

Baptism is Christian initiation. It is required for salvation. But that doesn't mean that everyone who has ever been baptised is "saved." It merely provides the beginning. We must still "walk in the light."
