    <description><![CDATA[How is the gift of saving faith in Jesus Christ given? To answer this question, we must look closely at the actual phenomena of faith and repentance, the new birth and growth in grace, and ask how the work of Christ is accomplished. How does it happen that someone comes to faith and has faith nurtured and strengthened?]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[This affirmation of faith since the beginning of the church is that ALL believer's will be physically resurrected. This is grounded in the fact of Christ's own resurrection. They based their belief on the unanimous teaching of the Bible. It was the Gnostics that denied a resurrection.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[I wholeheartedly agree.  I can see that in the paradigm.  The prodigal son trusts, as Luther says in the Large Catechism, in the fact that the Father will grant what he asks for, i.e. basic necessities.  But the Father of all grace grants so much more grace than we can handle.    And the other son expects all the abundance by doing works.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The question I would pose to you is how is the forgiveness applied to them?  God is not one to deal with abstracts.  He is a concrete sort of God.  He deals with means: water, wine, bread.  He deals sometimes through things that aren't up to his standards: your pastor.  He uses things to apply his grace.<br />
<br />
Another question is: what about original sin?  Does original sin damn?  Because we are rotten sinners from the beginning (Ps. 51:5).  But the flip side is what my my first question of the post is "Is not our God merciful?"<br />
<br />
What are we left with?  A tension.  One the one hand God works through means (babies can't get the means), on the other we have original sin (babies have it), and yet on the other God is merciful (wanting all men to be saved and that includes unborn babies).  We are left with not trying to claim wisdom into this mystery.  I trust that God knows what to do with the babies, and that is enough for me.  I have enough to worry about besides where unborn babies go; I'll leave that to the Almighty.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[I have to say that I sincerly agree with you. My personal opinion is that unborn/unbaptized babies DO go to heaven. I believe that they are forgiven.]]></description>
