Page "Infant baptism" Paragraph 54

An alternative viewpoint of some credobaptists is that since all Christians are predestined to salvation ( John 15: 16, 1 Cor. 1: 27, Eph. 1: 4, 1 Pt. 2: 4 ), God will not allow his elect to die before receiving their need, even if they are in old age ( Luke 2: 25-35 ), an argument whose relation to baptism whether of infants or adults is unclear, unless it means that infants who die without coming to explicit belief and baptism are not among God's elect.
