One of the fundamental doctrines of Calvinism is the idea that people are born in sin, or born sinners. Such a teaching is false: (a) The exact opposite is affirmed in Ezekiel 18:4-20. (b) Both Jesus and Paul viewed children as innocent (Matthew 18:3; 1 Corinthians 14:20). (c) Since the conditions for salvation are hearing the gospel (Romans 10:17), your own faith (John 3:16), repentance (Acts 17:30), confession that Jesus is the Son of God (Romans 10:9-10), and baptism (Acts 2:38); we automatically know that we aren’t born sinners, seeing that no path of salvation exists for babies, infants and young children.
