Where is the justificatoin for any infant to be saved? infants cannot evercising saving faith. Does God have a seperate plan for how they are saved? Where would that be in the Bible? Only Calvinism is consistent and shows how the Bible teaches that infants are indeed saved.

Infants are not saved-they are seen as not accountable. Babies do not know what sin is and therefore cannot be held accountable for something they know nothing about.

I don't know what "armianism" is, but the Bible says:
Ezekiel 18:20
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
"Sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4)
Until a child has matured to the point where they transgress the law, they bear no guilt of sin. Technically, to say they are "saved" is incorrect, because they have committed no sin to be saved from. More correctly would be to say they are in a safe condition. Sin seperates one from God (Isa 59:2). Babies have not yet sinned, therefore they are not yet been seperated from God.

Untill they can determine right from wrong and can understand what Jesus did for them, they are considered saved.
