The Baptist Trumpet (Vol.5 No.38, Oct. 1896)
WE KNOW THAT INFANTS are saved without that faith which “cometh by hearing,” but I am of opinion, with Eld. Hassell (C.B.) that they are not saved without faith in Christ. He says: “And as the grace of faith is the gift of God (Eph. i:19; ii:8; Gal. v:22; Phil. i:29; Heb. xii:2) it is as easy for Omnipotence to bestow it upon a dying infant as upon a living adult.” And if God does this, then the infant receives Christ by revelation, and enters heaven an intelligent worshipper of Him, ascribing its glorious redemption to Him! |
