Salvation of Infants Who DieThe OPC believes that God pre-damns infants to eternal hell. This isn't the Christian God of Love.
The Confession entertains the idea that at least some infants who die in infancy and some others "who are incapable of being outwardly called" are among the elect.
However, the Confession does not say that all such infants, etc., are saved.
It will be noted that the Confession sharply contradicts the view popularized today by the neo-Pentecostal movement.This states clearly that the OPC wishes to believe that the sending of the Holy Spirit is UNREPEATABLE
In essence this view would have us believe that we can have the same charismatic gifts that we read about in the age of the Apostles - such as prophecy, speaking in tongues, and healing - today.
This is a very serious error. In essence it is a result of a failure to grasp the Biblical teaching concerning the history of salvation. ....
Never again will there be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit such as took place on the day of Pentecost.
The sending of the Holy Spirit is just as much an unrepeatable event as the birth of Christ was.
I think that it is wrong to hold (with the Premillennialists) that, from chapter 4:1 on, Revelation is all future.
