Do you have a reprobate child in mind who you're concerned about? |
No. Just the belief that not every covenant child is elect. I have 8, and desire that they all be converted. Yet perhaps some will not be. What of their prayers as covenant children who, despite their baptism are reprobate. Some argue that on the basis of their baptism and covenant membership, their prayers are heard. Not prayers for salvation, but for protection for daddy on the way home from work, and the missionaries in foreign lands, and thanks for the food etc. What of these prayers?
Thanks.
