"The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness, even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in Revelation."

Some years ago, a friend who grew up Fundamentalist Baptist had been excommunicated from her church because she was engaged to a non-Baptist. They married and she joined a Southern Baptist church. When her youngest son was 5 it was discovered that he had a hole in his heart that would require surgery. At the time she was quite active in her church home. She asked the pastor if he would add her son to the weekly prayer list for a while because of his impending surgery. After a few weeks she noticed that his name had still not appeared on the list. She asked the pastor. He politely told her that since her 5 year old son was neither saved nor baptised that he would not add the boy to the public prayer list but he, himself would pray for the boy. As far as her church was concerned the child was not a christian and would not go to heaven if he passed away during treatment. She was devistated.
