Absolutely ZERO people on this earth today know with certainty the answer to “are babies saved?”

But there is enough Scripture to convince us that God’s grace is sufficient to cover the most innocent of His creatures, even though no one escapes the fallen nature of our first father, Adam.

It’s funny. You can ask people and you get all sorts of answers, most not even related to their theology. It’s just all over the map.

I find that people who have children are more accepting of infant salvation. Certainly being made aware of the fragility of life and the depth of love does something to our perception of God’s view of infants. I do think that believers can have a greater confidence in the fact their children will be saved because Scripture tells us that “the promise is made to you and your children.” And of course it is God who gives us our children in the first place.

Not every question is answered completely in the Bible. But the important ones are answered to what should be our satisfaction. That’s enough for me.

But doesn't your theology teach that babies in the womb are pre-determined by God as either elect or reprobate. And this doesn't change?
