So...

Hello folks, I understand lutherans believe God chooses whom He will save and draws us to Him so does that still mean that every infant baptized will be saved? i believe lutherans believe that the Holy Spirit will work faith in the infant at baptism, correct?
I see many twenty somethings in church Sunday morning but where do they usually congregate during the week? I don't see them at Wed. night Bible study. I want to hang out more with people my age and perhaps get a girlfriend to. :D
