AMEN!!
My simple point, was merely the fact an infant has no awareness of what right/wrong is. They are not able to choose one way or another. Plus, I believe until a child is old enough to understand and at the age of accountability, that child is saved. God would definitely have Mercy!!
And concerning an infant Dedication, I am definitely all for that!!

This thread ought to be titled a non-charismatic misunderstanding of tongues.
Cos clearly they dont understand it. Its not even for them to understand...its for God to understand because God knows all tongues. He invented them.
Right in the beginning of creation, the very first thing God did, was SPEAK.
Every time He created something, He spoke it into existence first.
Our God is not silent and neither are we who believe in Him. Why is Jesus called the Word? Because He spoke what God wanted Him to say. And guess what a lot of it was NOT actually in the mother tongue of the Israelites, Hebrew. It was in Greek.
It was a way to show that God reaches out not just to the Israelites but to the gentiles who spoke another language that was foreign to them!
Am really over the monolingual people who dismiss Gods diversity of tongues. If Tongues really had ceased, nobody would be speaking a word praising God today. NOBODY.

Couple of points here. I know you probably didn't mean it this way, but the Bible is NOT the problem. How we discern it is. EVERYONE, myself included, thinks how they interpret Scripture and apply doctrine is THE right way, or they wouldn't believe what they do. But NO ONE has everything exactly right since we see things through a glass darkly.
Sometimes, like the predestination vs freewill issue for instance, it is simply a matter of some passages need to viewed from God's perspective, and separately from man's perspective.
I tried to tackle the diversity of thought on non- salvic, doctrines with limited success. You can check it out here:

im sorry i did say it wrongly. english isnt my real language. i didnt mean to say that bible is like a bad thing.
what i was trying to say was what you said.
i cant remember where i hear this but someone said: "i can prove peter was in the garden tempting eve. look here Jesus says to peter get thee behind me satan, who was tempting eve in the garden? satan right? proof peter was in the garden".
i was amazed at it because its so fitting but we know its obviously not true. but thats a sign you can twist the bible and make it look right. we have to be consistent and careful

It's funny to me that when "proofs" are given that tongues are false everyone here on the "tongues have ceased" crowd are all up in it. When I or others here give "proof" like when I told of my pastor friend that became saved through tongues he heard in his own language, your side says "well that's just a story,you can't believe a story".You're the most reasonable one here, can you explain to me how that works? Because I don't see that as a fair discussion, I see that as biased.

Its funny how when you said that, I agreed with you and praised God. And claimed that is how tongues should work
And then because I saw something I have seen and many others have, You forgot that whole conversation we had thinking I am attacking you

Hey, if people can unite and sing hymns in the streets of Paris, we should be able to get along.
