...Though I cannot define the nature of their damnation, yet I do not dare to say that it would have been better for them not to exist than to exist as they now are." Martin Luther agreed with Augustine. John Calvin sidestepped the issue by stressing predestination; if an infant was elected for salvation, Calvin held, lack of baptism could not keep him from it, and if he was damned to hell, baptism could not save him. Beginning with Thomas Aquinas, Catholics began to consign unbaptized children to a fringe of hell called Limbo (from the Latin limbus, meaning...
...rents are low, the blocks are small but densely populated, and small shops prosper. Streets and sidewalks sparkle with activity; everybody knows everybody else, and outsiders like to stroll there. And in the face of all the city planners' tenets, North End has the lowest delinquency, disease and infant mortality rates in the city.

Yet last week as more than 10,000 vending machine operators met in Chicago for their annual convention, they were concerned rather than complacent. Their problem: how to survive the flood of new electronic marvels that...
...distinguishing belief of Baptists is that baptism should be administered only to believers as a sign and symbol of their conversion-not as a means of grace, or cleansing from sin, or a setting apart, as with other forms of Christianity. The corollary to the Baptist tenet is that infants are too young to believe and therefore must not be baptized. Yet in an interview in the biweekly Lutheran Standard, official publication of the 2,300,000-member American Lutheran Church. Graham was quoted as saying: "I still have some personal problems in this matter of infant baptism...
