Billyray--once you make the exception, it is like saying--it is required, except when it is not.
Do you agree, that without grace--no one would be saved. It would not matter if you have faith, it would not matter if you have works--without grace, salvation is impossible. Would you agree?

It doesn't change the requirement only that God has mercy on those that are incapable to make that decision on their own. For example it is against the law to take a candy bar from the store. An able bodied person will be charged for theft but an infant will be let off the hook because they were incapable to to know better. This doesn't mean the law is not in effect.
Yes, but doesn't it show that ultimately, the law is in the hand's of the Master and that ultimately, it is always His grace as to whether the penalty of the law is enforced or not?It doesn't change the requirement only that God has mercy on those that are incapable to make that decision on their own.

And he has told us what is required. Those who place their faith in him will be saved. Work do not contribute FOR salvation.
