“...wives need to be led with a firm hand. A wife will often test her husband in some area, and be deeply disappointed (and frustrated) if she wins. It is crucial that a husband give to his wife what the Bible says she needs, rather than what she says she needs.” – Doug Wilson
Obedient Parents Believing Children

Doug Wilson Says ‘Children of Obedient Believers Will Become Believers’

(Updated on ) | Opinion by Nathan Wells

Doug Wilson claims 'children of obedient believers will become believers' — a prosperity gospel of parenting. What does the Bible actually promise parents?

Now many children of believing parents do not become believers themselves. At the same time, children of obedient believers will become believers. ‘Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it’ (Prov. 22:6). The sovereign God uses means to accomplish His purposes in election, and His appointed and revealed means for the conversion of covenant children is obedient parents–not elect parents who are disobedient in how they bring up children. — Doug Wilson

“Raise your hand if you knew that the Westminster Confession taught baptismal regeneration...Baptism means that the one baptized has a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, has been grafted into Christ, has the sign and seal of regeneration and forgiveness of sins, and has the obligation to walk in newness of life...baptism is efficacious. But the efficacy of the sacrament is not tied to the moment when it is administered. By means of baptism, this efficacious grace is conferred on the elect at the appropriate time, the time of conversion, and it is the applied grace of their baptism.” — Doug Wilson In this Calvinistic sense, baptism offers a twofold grace: forgiveness of sins and regeneration. In this limited sense, we can say that Calvin held to baptismal regeneration. But he also believed in the effectual call, and he knew (being a good Calvinist, perhaps even the best) that this effectual call could precede or follow the moment of baptism. — Doug Wilson
