| How can anyone know if their child is a "Reprobate"? I had thought that we were to assume unless otherwise shown that all our children are elect. The Canons Of Dort Article 17: We must judge concerning the will of God from His Word, which declares that the children of believers are holy, not by nature but in virtue of the covenant of grace, in which they are included with their parents. Therefore, God-fearing parents ought not to doubt the election and salvation of their children whom God calls out of this life in their infancy (Gen_17:7; Act_2:39; 1Co_7:14). |
