the Westminster Confession states that election is predetermined: "…without any foresight of faith, or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving Him thereunto…"

AMEN!

Because it is understandable to believe infants are saved exactly the same way any man is saved -- not by works, but by grace.

Men can't earn their salvation. Infants can't earn their salvation.

It's all grace. Free and unmerited.

According to your Confession of Faith, you’re fate is determined in the womb, without any regard to anything.

It is a clear description of an unjust, capricious god. For every infant, child, man and woman.

If you teach this god to children, IMHO, it is just cruelty.

I’ll make it as clear and real as I can:

Could you stand up in front of a classroom of children and tell them:

Some of you sitting there are “foreordained to everlasting death.” God foreordained you to hell. And He hates you.

Could you do that?
