Most Reformed believers would either take offense at, and/or correct, such error.

Why? Where in Scripture does it say all dead infants are elect? Please don't quote other calvinists--that's just opinion. Back it up with Scripture like the Reformed are fond of claiming they do.

Ummmm... why? It's a long subject. I have discussed this with friends before and will cut and paste past answers I've given (slightly revised for context's sake), but why?

Just a few replies ago you said you were offended at the "mourning" of a "calvinist" for aborted babies that were hell bound, not having the chance at repentance. In fact, you said that that view got you involved in the "conversation" (on the perceived evils of Calvinism, I assume). All I was doing was showing you that the offense you took is actually common to Calvinists. We believe (as far as historic, confessionally based Calvinism is concerned) the exact opposite of the view of the "calvinist" that offended you.

So, I would assume that the actual Calvinist view is not offensive to you. But, alas, you seem still offended. It seems that whatever the view, if it's Calvinist, it offends you.

Oh, well. I have little time, right now. Got to get my kids to Scouts. I'll be back in a few hours with a long reply.
