The Second Council of Orange, which condemned Semi-pelagianism (but, Warfield says, succumbed to "semi-semi-pelagianism") says at the conclusion of its canons:
I know that many opponents of Calvinism would claim that we teach that the reprobate are indeed "foreordained to evil by the power of God," but my question is, is that a fair or unfair statement of our doctrine?
We not only do not believe that any are foreordained to evil by the power of God, but even state with utter abhorrence that if there are those who want to believe so evil a thing, they are anathema.
