Where are the infants baptized?

But there is an intellectual process. To totally deny any use of the brain is insane.

The brain is not the issue, the mind is. The brain is just the physical interface between our minds (spirits) and the flesh (physical world). You can scramble the brain, but the mind remains as spirit.

The knowledge is given to our spirit when we receive saving faith. When our brain hears the gospel, a connection is made between those words and the spiritual knowledge that is a gift from the Spirit. Saving faith does not depend on the ability of the brain. A properly functioning brain helps us confirm that we have been given saving faith.

No matter the condition of the brain, it is the mind that believes. It is our spirit that has saving faith. Infants and mentally retarded people still have perfectly functioning spirits that can be saved by God's grace.

This is what i was trying to say. You are correct. I agree with you 100%. Sorry for the unclear "words" i was using. I see that one wrong word makes the word "heretic" loud and clear. It also makes people draw the gun very quickly.

I am open to this. But it is very hard for me to understand. Today i was reminded that our salvation is supernatural. Again, it's just hard for me to grasp this concept and i will study more into the doctrines of grace as i get older.

Andrew, may the Lord give you much grace as you study and as He delights to reveal more of Himself to you! May you never tire to sit at His feet!

Ephesians 1:3 - 6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
