What is the Biblical basis for asserting that infants can have faith in Christ under a Calvinistic framework?

Calvin argued for the election of infants, which opposed Roman Catholic faith, which believed that baptism was necessary for salvation (sacramentalists). He was even more forceful about this view than Luther. Under Calvinism and most reformed Protestants, infants could clearly be saved without water baptism. Although this might seem less harsh than a sacramentalists position, many Calvinists have since created alternate views. The problem is that in Calvin’s view some infants were also predestined to hell and that contrary to Calvin, it does not seem possible to many people that infants can have faith. For many Calvinists this seems as harsh as the sacramentalists, in terms of reconciling God’s justice with his love. Therefore many modern Calvinists are not strictly Calvinistic. **Two alternate views that many modern Calvinists split from traditional Calvinism are:** - **Those infants God *‘foreknows’* only are saved:** This is a way many Christians get around the potential severity of infant election to hell, by just saying God foreknows anything that we might do and therefore saves some infants based on the fact that ‘they would have received Christ’ is they had lived longer. It seems based on the assumption that infants can't have faith in Christ as they can't understand the gospel preached. - **All infants are saved:** This view which automatically includes all infants. The argument is made that only those who reject the gospel, do not receive it, from God’s standpoint and as infants can’t reject it, by default they have received it and are therefore elect. This assumes infants can't reject the gospel because they can't understand it. Both deviations from Calvin's view seem to be based on the belief that an infant can't have faith and that this is more or less common sense. **Calvin’s original premise seems to be maintained by two possible versions.** - **First**, it may be simply ‘resigned into the hands of God’ by faith. In other words, salvation is ‘ordinarily’ obtained through hearing the gospel and personally believing it, however, God is not limited to that means and saves elect infants anyway upon reasons that we need not ask. - **Second**, God by His Spirit can generate faith in an infant so that even thought not fully conscious of their choice, they can actually personally believe the gospel under a lower intellectual capacity than younger children or adults might do. **This question is asking for the Biblical basis of the second option as opposed to the first and ideally includes infants in the womb.**.
