abstract
  • Infant salvation is a question specifically asked regarding the eternal destiny of those who die in infancy. Scripture is not explicit on this issue, hence arguments are based on general theological principles and inference from Scripture. Reformed theology has generally maintained the salvation of those who die in infancy; yet they have done so without compromising the doctrines of original sin, the atonement, and/or justification as has been the case in many arguments. The Reformed perspective is confirmed by B. B. Warfield in his excellent essay on the doctrine of infant salvation. Therein he states, Today few Calvinists can be found who do not hold . . . that all who die in infancy are the children of God and enter at once into His glory -- not because original sin alone is not deserving of eternal punishment, nor because they are less guilty than others, nor because they die in infancy, but simply because God in His infinite love has chosen them in Christ before the foundation of the world.
