7. Whether any one may be saved out of the Church.
NO man can be saved out of the Church;1 Because without the Church there is no Saviour; therefore no salvation also. Without me you can do nothing. 2. Because whomsoever God hath chosen and elected to the end, which is eternal life, them he hath chosen to the means; which is the inward and outward calling. The elect therefore, though they be not at all times members of the visible Church, yet they are all made such before they die. Object. Therefore election is not free. Answ. It is free, because God chose freely, both to the end, and to the means. But after he hath once destined and ordained men to means, he never changeth: We here also are to hold against the Anabaptists, that Infants, which are borne in the Church, are also of the Church.
