God has bestowed many blessings on his chosen people that apply to the chosen’s children as well. Eternal life is one of these blessings. Deut 30:19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live Of course, a child will by nature reject this blessing as cognition develops unless the Holy Spirit intervenes. Also, a proper exposition of Acts 17:30 is deserved, anytime the salvation of heathens is discussed. Good article; however, scripture does provide hope for Christian parents of a deceased child.

If we are born naturally wicked and an infant never has a chance to hear or understand or choose Chirst much less verbalize as commanded in Romans 10:13. With the arguement presented here the igorant is just as hell bound as the "educated". A wicked infant that dies at birth is born only to die a second death because no one gave them the Romans road just before thier first and last breath left their lungs? The catholics belivein and "emergency baptisim" in which faced with a situation where an unbaptised child is about to die anyone can perform this "emergency babtisim". I know this because it was taught to teenaged catholic girls who might have to baby sit to save little babies from going to hell. In as much that I know that baptisim isn't a prerequsite for salvation, are you making the point that those who have not heard God created to damn? I don't know if you just negelted the babies but can you not lump them in with the ignorant? is salvaion then a choice of the mind or the heart? I may be jumping the gun a bit here. I'm trying to be careful not to defend pluralisim. I'm just trying to understand how ignorance of the word leads to condemnation by it. brother, what about romans 2 13-15 “(for not the hearerof the law shall be justified by God, but the doers of the law shall be justified14for when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature what is contained in the law, these having nto the law are la unto themselves 15 which shew the work of the law written in their hearts their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another)”
