I did in no way mean to tear down the works of these men nor did I mean to imply that I deny salvation by grace alone. Again I affirm whole heartedly that God has elected a multitude of people from before the foundation of the world and that they have been predetermined to be saved and none of them will be lost. Absolutely. All who remain in Christ to the end, do so by the grace of God. For there is no good thing that dwells in the flesh apart from the Holy Spirit.
And the protagonists of NPP/FV also purport to believe in exactly the same things ... BUT THEY DO NOT hold to the doctrines of free grace as expressed in the WCF, Belgic Confession, and other historic Reformed Confessions. And even Rome asserts that they believe in salvation by grace alone. So it is necessary to DEFINE your terms. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

YOU believe that all baptized infants of believers are regenerate.... thus of necessity, they are united in and to Christ and will be infallibly saved. IF would deny an infallible salvation for these alleged regenerate infants/children, then again, you have to deny at best a vicarious substitutionary atonement, aka: "Definite/Limited Atonement" and "Perseverance of the Saints". IF these alleged regenerate infants/children who you want to be allowed to partake of the Lord's Table have not necessarily been justified in Christ and will not be infallibly saved, then you must hold to some type of "synergism", which also mitigates against "Unconditional Election" which is exactly what NPP/FV teaches and which is damnable heresy.

So, go ahead and take your time and provide some "details" of your view(s) for us to examine. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
