I think I know Marlowe pretty well. I'd guess he was talking about infants and retarded people.
I pretty sure he believes in Romans 1's statement that the law is in every heart and they all are responsible.
He can correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct. Jesus is the light to the whole world. Eventually that light reaches you no matter where you are hiding. No one with the capacity to "hear" the gospel will get through this life without "hearing" it. All men will be responsible for the grace given to them. In the sense that this grace reaches all men, it is irresistible. It comes on them against their will. But what they do with that grace is their problem. It is irresistible inasmuch as you can't stop God from handing it to you. You can run from it, but you can't hide from it. God's grace will be shed upon all men. It is resistible inasmuch as you have the ability to reject it. You can't save yourself, but you can certainly damn yourself.
Actually, x, Marlowe is on the record as stating that some who die as devout Mormons will be saved.
When pressed further, he brought out the issue of a retarded Mormon.
I have a retarded uncle and cousin who have both made profession of faith in Reformed churches. I would not consider them "devout" Calvinists. They simply do not have the intellect to comprehend those issues. Marlowe knew nows that differnce, but wanted to throw in "retarded" folks to shed a little of the heat he was in for his admission.
