Jeff,

Good answers to Jerry's questions about heaven.  I believe that we are
mostly in agreement but I have a question for you:

How do you reconcile these two statements?  How can infants have faith?

My personal belief is that Scripture teaches that the elect will,
without fail, be saved.  I also believe that God is good and gracious.
 My conclusion from these two facts is that God elects children who
die before being able to express faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and
are therefore saved.  I say this, though, with some trepidation
because I don't want anything to undermine the requirement of faith
for salvation.

What do you think?
