Calvinism and Infant Salvation (some resources)


I'll be adding more links and resources whenever I can: 


Charles Spurgeon's sermon :Infant Salvation

If Babies Go to Heaven, Why Oppose Abortion? by John Piper

Curt Daniel's excellent series "The History and Theology of Calvinism" has 75 lectures. See his lecture on the topic titled, "The Election of Dying Infants." (download mp3)

Loraine Boettner's book "The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination" is a well known classic. Here's a link to that portion of the book on "Infant Salvation."

Calvin on the Death of Non-Elect Infants and the Age of Accountability by James Swan

Infant Election (article at Founders Ministries)

Two Protestants Debate Apostolic Succession (Sheffield vs. Ortlund)

 

Two Protestants debate Apostolic Succession. Anglican Jonathan Sheffield argues for Apostolic Succession. Baptist Gavin Ortlund argues against the formal doctrine of Apostolic Succession. As a Baptist I agree with Gavin, but it's good to hear a Protestant argue for Apostolic Succession.

Audio Recording of the American Standard Version translation of the Holy Bible

 

The American Standard Version translation of the Holy Bible isn't my number one favorite translation, but it is one of my favorite. Here's a great reading of the ASV. If it's too slow for you, most mp3 players can speed up audio. YouTube videos also have the feature of being able to adjust speed (faster or slower).
