NOT John Calvin but Theodore Beza "Paul does not inform us that the ruin of the ungodly is foreseen by the Lord, but that it is ordained by His counsel & will. Solomon also teaches us that not only was the destruction of the ungodly foreknown, but the ungodly themselves have been created for the specific purpose of perishing (Prov. 16.4)." (The epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Romans & to the Thessalonians, William B. Erdman's Publishing Company, 1995, pp. 207-208; Guys like John MacArthur are priming people to accept full depth of Bezaism that Cheung says bluntly but they must candy coat some things before it will stick. MacArthur told parents who've lost babies that their baby is in heaven because they're elect & He elected them for their sake which goes against their unconditional election doctrine & is much like infant baptism. Worldly people's babies fate is as usual a "mystery."
