Riassunto

Excerpt from Christian Baptism: In Two Parts; Part First, Its Subjects; Part Second, Its Mode, Obligation, Import, and Relative Order

It is well known to the student in church history, that few, very few, since the days of the apostles, have ever openly held to the damnation of any of those infants who die in infancy. The Calvinistic school forms the largest exception. There have been those who have held that all unbaptized infants, dying in infancy, go to a sort of middle state, between heaven and hell, as the reader will see in the fifth chapter of this work. Others, as St. Austin, (see pp. 209 with more consistency, held that where the want of baptism was not the fruit of any wicked and wilful disposition of the individual, he would be saved without it. The Protestant Episcopal Church, it appears, chooses, in regard to the state Of unbaptized infants hereafter, to observe entire silence. (see pp. 270, 271, of this work.)
