Just to clarify, that is not my quote, it's MacArthurs. But I think you understood this.

I would take issue with the argument above. Based on his argument, I would conclude that all people should be saved because what better illustration of "that" then saving lost sinners. Shouldn't that magnify God's sovereignt and grace too. Of course, it does.

If he wants to base his proof of salvation of all infants dying in infancy on that bit of logic, I see no reason why he should stop at just infants and apply it to all people. Except, of course, that Scripture is quite clear that all people aren't saved. Basically, the line of reasoning he uses on this point is pretty weak.

Very Good point John, I agree.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
