Would you think God as more gracious if you knew that babies who die in infancy go to Heaven?
Would you think him less gracious if that they went to Hell?
Does not God deserve our glory and honor and praise either way? Whatever God decides to do in this case, it is just and good because God is just and good

God Does and deserves and gets all glory hands down. On the question of babies destination after death? A great read is John MacArthur’s “In the arms of God” which he provides a grea polemic for babies going to be with the Lord which I would have to affirm due to the content of the book founded in the text of scripture.
@Robert – I am familiar with Dr. MacArthur’s position. but it has been a while. 1) Does he hold to an “age of accountability” view? refresh my memory, please.
I don’t find enough evidence for an all-babies-get-to-heaven view. If so, abortion is the most generous thing you can do… that baby gets a fast pass to heaven without exception… without repentance and faith!! I mean… I’m not saying or indicating that all babies go to Hell. Heck no. I would say all who are in Heaven are elect before the foundation of the world (Eph 1) … can we say from scripture that ALL babies are elect? hmmm.
Yeah he holds to the view that their is an age of accountability.
