Please explain this then...
Romans 3:10-12 NASB
"There is none righteous, not even one;
There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God;
All have turned aside, together
they have become useless;
There is none who does good,
There is not even one."
Man does not seek after God, there is a reason --> Ephesians 2:1 says that we were dead in our sins. A dead man cannot call out to God, he is dead. Unless God regenerates their hearts (John 3) and makes them alive (Ephesians 2:5), and draws them to Christ (John 6:44), they will not be able to seek God because they are totally depraved in sin. They will not want to seek God.

I don't know how many people, but at least this one (meaning, myself) believes in the doctrine called Calvinism. Why? Because I see the doctrines of grace, what I prefer to call it, all over Scripture. I believe salvation comes by grace through faith, I believe salvation is a gift from God, I believe man is sinful and unable to choose God, therefore God had to start salvation, and not only that but I also believe God seals us, hence securing our salvation till Jesus Christ comes back.
I have always viewed our election this way....
God predetermined before the casting down of the world that ALL who would come to Him through Jesus by Faith would be received as full grown children.....
Salvation is open to all not all will receive it..
Many will be called, but few chosen as men can and have rejected faith even though they were on the precipice....

You don't have to worry about that, because if they sprinkle babies they have roots in the Catholic Church and or come from a so called church that is Catholic in practice though maybe not in name and or identification. I know quite a few Baptists in probably 20 states and 15 countries and none of them get babies wet!
