Chapter 10: Of Effectual Calling

3. Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit,¹ who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth:² so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word.³

Acts 2:38-39

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

John 3:3
