For Calvin, emergency baptism is based on a incorrect understanding of purpose of baptism. Children already have the spark of faith under the covenant so baptism is unnecessary.
Could you please clarify for me if the statement in italics is what Dr. Lee believes, or what Dr. Lee believes Calvin teaches, or what you believe Calvin teaches, or if this is what you believe to be true? I can't quite determine who belongs to that statement. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/stupidme.gif" alt="" />

FYI, I strongly disagree with some of Calvin's beliefs concerning infant baptism, particularly his view in regard to the place infants of believers hold in the Church, aka: presumptive regeneration. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Personally, as to the question being discussed, I see no Scriptural warrant nor reasonable necessity to baptize dying infants.

In His Grace,
