Thanks to everyone for their views. This is probably one of the things that we best leave in God's hands! However, I must admit it has often troubled me to think about it!

Maybe this is a mystery we must leave with God! I say this because I have not seen the subject address by scripture, or I have overlooked it somehow!

I am not asking for myself! Just wondering what others think. I think I understand about God's elect. However, if an infant dies before actually coming to faith, would they be without hope? I would hope not, but that is in God's hands. Therefore, if this were the case: Would they be lost...

God's word when He speaks of His covenant relationship often makes reference to the offspring of His chosen people. See below: Genesis 6:18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. Deuteronomy 30:6 And...

I also am a member of the PCA Church in Anna, Tx. I guess my question was more along the line of a young child who is not yet able to make a confession of faith!

I have a gift card for 25.00 for one year subscription. However, when I attempt to use it I am asked for personal information which I do not want to reveal. Is there a way to get around this?

How do the verses which speak of God's covenant apply to God's people of today. For example: Should the Christian of today take comfort in the fact that their young children are covenant children, and therefore may be treated somewhat differently than the children of non believers? This could...

I don't think you will find this as an absolute statement from scripture, but I believe it to be true!

It seems to me that hearing the word of God is a two edged sword! It enters the heart of those who have been enabled to hear and believe. At the same time it hardens the heart of those who have not been enabled. The reason that the Gospel must be taken to everyone is because the preacher...

Sorry Karlon, but I have a granddaughter who was born with cerebral palsy and is a now a delightful teenager. I love her very much, and she is a joy to be around. She will need help for the rest of her life. Her speech is severely affected. Her muscular co-ordination is such that the least...

We, as God's people, would love to think that a baby born dead or severely disabled would automatically go to heaven. However, that goes against the very word of God which proclaims that we are sinners from birth. That being said, we do have a God who has established a covenant with His people...

I can only speak for myself. I was not raised as a Christian. However, as the years went on I was slowly began to see the world around me and come to the understanding that God had to be the creator. But, my struggle continued because I was unable to see and understand that I could be...

I once attended a CRC Church in the Dallas area. In my opinion, it was a very good church. However, the church went through a mini split. Not sure what all the issues were but women elders was probably one of them. That church split and became a PCA church, with the elders running to other...

It seems like the word desire must be included. In other words, "We act upon the perception of our understanding and desire". The desire part comes when we receive a new heart. Then we have the desire to obey!

I always thought that this process began when the female egg became fertilized.

I'm not sure why you call Judas a lost sheep. Please explain. The two following verses seem to prove otherwise. Am I missing something? I'm really trying to learn. Matthew 26:24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would...

Thanks for your reply. I must agree that it would be better for me to have backed up what I stated with a reference to scripture. However, I am not an avid poster. I do not spend as much time as others in back and forth discussions. I guess that is the very reason that I have a disclaimer...

You have a habit of relying on silly analogies when desperate to prove your point. However, as to your analogy, God has so blessed man with a natural instinct to preserve his own life. Perhaps that's why we stop when we get to the edge of a cliff. In your analogy, the man grabs for whatever is...

The signature line on the posts of selahsays is worth pausing to consider! And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2...

Obviously you have never dribbled a ball down court!:D
