They teach covenant and the parents are the ones who covenant  with God before the ppl to raise the child in the faith.  I'm in their classes now checking it out.   Do you believe that infants go to hell?  If so, you believe in original sin, too.  If not, then you do not.    jt: I believe God honors covenant. Although King David's child was born because of his sin with Bathsheba, after it's death he said he knew that he would go to be with it but that the child could not rejoin him.     It seems that you have stated that we are born with sinful flesh and are born guilty before God of sin, even before actually sinning.    jt: Not exactly - I said we are born with an inheritance in sin...under the curse because of the iniquities of the fathers - some more so than others.   Then I think you said you don't really believe that newborns go to hell.  This is contradictory.  What do you believe about original sin?  izzy jt: I'm not sure what the rcc teaches that everyone calls "original sin" but if we evaluate by what they teach about most everything else then I figure it can't be good...
