The "two people" aspect, which is wholly Biblical yet smudged by the FV with its insistence that simply being baptized makes one a "child of God", along with its teaching that Christ's death "purchased blessings" for the "non-elect covenant member." (AAPC Position Paper on Baptism, etc.: "8. God has decreed from the foundation of the world all that comes to pass, including who would be saved and lost for all eternity. Included in His decree, however, is that some persons, not destined for final salvation, will be drawn to Christ and His people only for a time. These, for a season, enjoy real blessings, purchased for them by Christ's cross and applied to them by the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacrament.")
