Thanks for your response, Sophie.
It's nice to finally see some Scripture to back up your side of the argument. You and tuppence have given me alot to digest. I will need some time to weigh what you've said against what I (currently) believe the Bible teaches.
I must say, though I may sound in my posts as coming off kinda harsh and set in my ways regarding this topic, I really am open to what you are saying - I just need to see Scripture that says it.
Thanks again for your post, and (on a purely selfish note) I do hope that you are right, because I don't like the thought of babies in hell.
BTW, I wouldn't necessarily categorize myself as a Calvinist, though I do believe many of the things that go along with that name. I attend a conservative Baptist church. I'm in no way Catholic.
Oh, one other thing.... You'll have to explain some of the irony that you see in my posts to me sometime. The only bit of irony that I planned was the fact that the dancing tiger is Hobbes from the comic strip "Calvin & Hobbes". The irony being that, since I'm generally categorized as a Calvinist, I thought I'd play that up in my avatar..... unfortunately, no one seems to have caught onto that. I guess I'm the only one that likes that particular comic strip, or maybe nobody here still enjoys comics like I do!
