Yes, I'm assuming that infants and children are saved. No, the bible doesn't say so. They either are or they aren't. Examining both views results in very important conclusions though.
If we assume they aren't, then every person is lost until some point in their life whereby they 'get saved'. If this is the case, those that have lost infants, children, the aborted are in hell or hell bound. For some I guess this would be acceptable, for me it's not. Maybe I'm just making a decision based on emotion rather than truth though.
If we assume they are then there's a process whereby they're saved and they enjoy that salvation until some point in their life when they lose that salvation. A discarding of them by God.
Which view is correct? I think it's very important to find out.
Once we come to a conclusion on the two views, then we can better address your points.
