Puritan Board Sophomore
Simply because it came up in a conversation this evening, I ask this:
I argued the Sovereignty of God in Salvation extending even to infants and that just because they are infants does not mean automatic Heaven for them. Otherwise, abortion is the greatest "heaven-populator" ever known. The counter was stated that only the one committing the murder could be judged; the infant would still go to heaven.
OK. All that said, which has been hashed out here in many other threads, .i.e http://www.puritanboard.com/f15/infant-salvation-native-jungle-24581/
the end conclusion as it was further discussed later in private was this:
"I'm not going to discuss this with someone. It has nothing helpful to offer to the Christian life. I have enough problems keeping myself straight so I won't go there."
Is this issue really important enough that Christians ought to discuss it or is it too obscure? That is all I really want to know.
