On another thread, a Christian member states the following:
I wonder how can babies be saved if they don't have the ability to confess their sins nor understand sin and salvation. They obviously can't be saved by works either. So how are babies saved?
For Discussion:
1. Are babies automatically saved? I would imagine that they are not held culpable for their actions.
2. If not automatically saved, how can they be saved? Or is saved the wrong word, and they are just automatically righteous in God's eyes? Or does God not judge them at all?
Salvation is by faith in Christ alone. Nothing else is required to be saved:
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
