Maybe these people weren't born again Christians so God wasn't listening to them? Or, the child's life was within their control. God gave us medical knowledge for a reason, and expected them to seek out a physician?

Yeah. More trouble for the grandma too who, thankfully, is crazy about the grand kids; but mom still has to plan it and complicates her day more than usual.

Exactly the reason my pastor's wife was unable to take her young boys shopping with her, causing the major inconvenience of having to have grandma come over and watch the kids while mommy shopped.

"JESUS MY SAVIOR
Mother M. Angelica
"It is never the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost." (Matt. 18:14)
...When we prefer our will to His we sin or weaken our will.
By His life, death and resurrection Jesus merited the indwelling of the Spirit and through the grace of His Spirit, we are able to rise above our own will and desires and live in His Will, His peace and His love.
We have then two aspects of Salvation—God's and ours.
God's Will
a. The Father wills that we are saved.
b. Jesus merited salvation by shedding His Precious Blood.
c. The Spirit fills our souls with grace—gifts and fruits in order to sanctify us."

It continues with parts I would agree, many I dont. She certainly is Christian. To deny that is only asking for judgement on yourself

Hey I never even thought of that, Lurker. But there may even be a simpler explanation....They just don't bother reading the Bible. I was very fortunate in that when I was converted, I was encouraged to read scripture, and utilise books only as a support or help. I found the Bible so exciting to read, that I devoured it daily, and read it through many, many times. That was back in the days when I had the energy!
There is so much to learn from scripture, that even a lifetime of study would not complete the job. But what a quickening word God's word is!

Who is this "seaton" you are posting too?
a. "may" in this context, indicates to the parents the future possibility that their child might be one of the elect.
Unlike you Bapty's we don't try to upstage the Lord and try to read hearts.

Does anyone else besides me have a problem understanding the following?
From the same article by Dennis Kastens
"Yes, we baptize babies. Unmistakably Scriptural proof substantiates that doctrine. Christian history, unbroken and uninterrupted. reflects such practice in each generation. Conscientious Christians do not delay but hasten with their children to Baptism that they may received the gift of salvation and regeneration and gratefully embrace the Apostle’s affirmation extended to those of all age groups: "For as many of you as have been baptized have put on Christ" (Galatians 3: 27)."

"By You I have been upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.

Looks like the psalmist view God as His sustainer from birth might have made the same statement.

Well let us see, certainly we will find a statement from Polycarp stating he was baptized as an infant.....

crickets chirping

Oops, he NEVER said that.
So, then with the same authority that the padeobaptist say he was baptized as an infant, I say he was baptized as a young adult and all his family were baptized after they were born again upon public profession of their faith. If it was good enough for the apostle John it was good enough for his followers.
