Why John MacArthur became a Calvinist.

[Bruh]

Exactly.

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?"

So if salvation is dependent upon hearing and believing the Gospel, and calling on Jesus, then on what basis in your theology is an infant--who has no capacity to hear, believe, or call--saved?

He’s clearly speaking to adults. To say he’s speaking to or about infants and or the unborn is speculating.

To expand on what I said earlier, it appears Wesley changed his mind over time, coming to accept the doctrine.

That said, I don't see how one can accept the doctrine of imputation of Christ's righteousness and simultaneously believe you can fall from grace. Such entails that Christ's perfect merit was insufficient, or it only applied to past sins, or in some other sense renders the atonement unable to save someone fully.

Or, that such imputation is contingent upon a faith that is able to be abandoned.
