Infant Salvation in the Baptist Tradition

Great video. Very informative and packed with references.

It's interesting, because any quote that says infants are saved in any way through the Work of Jesus is thereby logically implying they are in need of redemption from sin, there would be no other need for it. People's emotions really cloud their logic on this issue.

@@Dizerner I would obviously affirm infants need redemption from sin, meaning the presence and consequences of sin in our world. And the effects of sin on the infant. But not yet in the sense where there is a damnable guilt that will send an infant to hell if they die. That is all conditioned on personal sin IMO

@@LaymanBibleLounge This is interesting. Don't you realize that if you object that it is a violation of justice for the innocent to suffer for the guilty, to be punished for what someone else has done, then babies suffering from the presence and consequence of sin is definitionally unjust? See, this is the whole heart of the argument against a sin nature, that it's unjust. But here the same argument is being applied that innocent people are dying through no fault of their own, and yet it is called justice? I never understand how people are okay with the glaring internal inconsistency. It feels like special pleading.
