infants. However, its primary purpose is to help advance a doctrine that is still in a state of flux and in need of further development, testing, and refining.
Paedobaptism
figures prominently in this issue. For what happens to a believer’s infant
should it die before baptism? Is the unbaptized infant damned to Hell? What does
baptism mean in terms of God’s Covenant of Grace? If infants of believing
parents receive baptism because they are included in the covenant with their
parents, then are dying infants of believers saved according to the promises of
the Covenant of Grace? What about infants who die outside of the Covenant?
These are the
sorts of questions that led to the development of the Calvinist doctrine that
all who die in infancy are probably saved.
