Puritan Board Freshman
Hi All,
One expects the FV men to have nothing but disdain for the Old School Southern Presbyterian view of the status of the children of believers. To read them, one would think that the most obscene names that anyone can be called after "Baptist" are "Thornwell" or "Dabney". However, what I didn't expect, but perhaps should, is the degree to which Presbyterian pastors in the PCA and OPC have been willing to embracing a doctrine of presumptive regeneration in regards to Covenant children, and how popular Schenck's work defending that notion, The Presbyterian Doctrine of Children in the Covenant, has become.
Therefore, against Schenck's work in particular and the notion of presumptive regeneration generally, I have just published an article entitled Contra Schenck on the Building Old School Churches blog.
The article necessarily also involves a defense of the Southern Presbyterian position on the status of the children of believers against 20th and 21st century caricatures of their position.
