Perhaps a study of the Scripture passages covering the WCF Chapter 10 section 3 might start you off on the right direction. As far as all who are elect, that is hidden in the counsels of God. Those that die in infancy, we trust God, as in all things. Perhaps the hardest thing we struggle with when this happens, is that we tend to look on the newborn as "innocent" forgetting the state in which we are born. From personal experience (living through two miscarriages with my wife), it is sorrowful to lose an infant and can become a great struggle, but our trust must remain (John 6:68 - where else can I go?)
Acts 2:39 (NKJV)
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God
will call. (my underline)
The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter X
Of Effectual Calling
III. Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit,[12] who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth:[13] so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word.[14]
12. Gen. 17:7; Luke 1:15; 18:15-16; Acts 2:39; John 3:3, 5; I John 5:12
13. John 3:8
14. John 16:7-8; I John 5:12; Acts 4:12
Just as a matter of curiosity, what prompted the question? We might as well ask if there are Scripture passages that allow us to identify the elect with 100% certainty while here on earth.<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
