I hate to go against such august persons as listed in point 5, but I have to stick to point 1. I just don't see it clearly taught. I get nervous about trying to read scripture as imputing blanket innocentness based upon age.
That's why I think the confessions were wise to state it as they did: "elect infants. . . ."
