Me Died Blue
Puritan Board Post-Graduate
I wanted to post this earlier, but I've been gone all weekend. I'm reading the WCF in a very rigorous, critical, detailed way for the first time. In the past I had only read for a general understanding of what it said. But now that I'm reading with a more specific eye for things, I noticed what seems to be Inclusivism set forth in section X.3, which reads (emphasis mine): "Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth: [i:5a628fa662]so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word.[/i:5a628fa662]" This seems to flatly contradict Romans 10:12-15, 17. Furthermore, the Scripture proofs given with that section of the WCF don't once mention those who don't hear the preached Word--they simply say that all who have Christ have life, and that no life can come apart from Christ.
Any help on understanding what the divines meant by this portion would be much appreciated.
In Christ,
Chris
