Thanks for your reply. There's still a difference between foreknowledge and predestination that gets often lost in Calvinism.

No one is "innocence".

This discussion started with the question of how a just God can kill innocent children. The Calvinist solution is that there are no innocent children.

Oh, I think Calvinists understand the difference. Augustine certainly understood it. It's not that difficult. All you have to do is keep in mind that God is in control. It's that simple.

The Calvinist solution is that there are no innocent children.

All have sinned and fall short. Those aren't my words. But we are saved by faith through Jesus Christ our Lord. Who God grants this faith to is impossible to tell. We can only look to ourselves to see if we're in "this faith". Those aren't my words either.

To reject that there are no innocent children is to reject the doctrine of Original Sin. Do you reject the doctrine of Original Sin?

St. Augustine based his belief in paedo-baptism on the reality of Original Sin being inherited by each newborn from Adam through the parents, thus no children were "innocent".
