From their mindset, it is perfectly just and proper for God to do that (neglecting to acknowledge that it is not characteristic of the revealed God in our lord Jesus Christ).
Moreover, the Reformed (Calvinists) cannot assume that a baby is innocent because the soul of the baby is already dead in sin.
Does anyone have any evidence for these strange comments that appear to be condemning innocent newborns to hell sight unseen?
I tend to avoid the Religion Forum, so I am not up on the latest interpretations here. But, I have to say condemning newborns to hell before they have a chance to do good or ill seems like pure bilge to me.
You believe what you want believe.. some religionists are that way too.. You must be ignorant on the death of those not at the age of consent.. i.e child vs. adult..
The "evidence" is, of course, the Bible, or better yet their interpretation of it, since not all who use the Bible arrive at the same conclusion. They would answer you that none of us is innocent (even at birth), but "filthy rags" (one of their favorite quotes).

They will tell you that no one can do any good until he is "born again" and has an "indwelling spirit." You can take it from there...
