"REPLY TO MECHA - Do Infants Who Die Go To Heaven?"


Hi Mecha,

In your 1/22 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2005/mecha122.htm you stated the following:

"Now if our God would send an infant to hell just because of his/her sin nature, knowing that he/she never sinned.  Then I don't want to worship that god.  But I know that My God would bring them back up to heaven."

Please take time to reread the article "The Salvation of the 'Little Ones': Do Infants Who Die Go To Heaven?" at http://www.covenantnews.com/mohler050117.htm  From reading that article, I didn't come to the conclusion that the Lord was going to send an infant to hell because of her or his sin nature.  Instead I believe that the writer of the article was pointing out "that Scripture does indeed teach that all persons who die in infancy are among the elect," and "that our Lord graciously and freely received all those who die in infancy – not on the basis of their innocence or worthiness – but by his grace, made theirs through the atonement He purchased on the cross."

God bless,

Donna
