Supralapsarian
In Calvinist theology, lapsarianism is the study of the logical order of God's decree to ordain the fall of man in relation to his decree to save some sinners through election and condemn others through reprobation. Several opposing positions have been proposed, all of which have names with the Latin root ''lapsus'' (meaning fall). Supralapsaranism and infralapsarianism assert that election and reprobation respectively preceded and succeeded the Fall. Paedolapsarianism and credolapsarianism assert to whom baptism should be administered and the kingdom of heaven belongs, respectively arguing for children of believers and adults. Overview Supralapsarianism (also called ''antelapsarianism'', ''pre-lapsarianism'' or ''prelapsarianism'') is the view that God's decrees of election and reprobation logically ''preceded'' the decree of the Fall. Infralapsarianism (also called ''postlapsarianism'' and ''sublapsarianism'') asserts that God's decrees of election and reprobation logically ''s ...
