14For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.(ESV)

Can you quote me the portion of the article that says the unbelieving spouse isn't sanctified by the believing spouse? I think he was making more of a connection between the unbelieving spouse and children. BTW I like Gill's view better.
