In [[Calvinist theology]], '''lapsarianism''' is the study of the '''logical order of [[God|God's]] [[decree]]''' to ordain [[Fall of Man|the fall of man]] in relation to his decree to save some sinners through [[Election (Christianity)|election]] and condemn others through [[reprobation]]. Several opposing positions have been proposed, all of which have names with the [[Latin language|Latin]] root ''lapsus'' (meaning fall).
Supralapsaranism and infralapsarianism assert that election and reprobation respectively preceded and succeeded the Fall. Paedolapsarianism and credolapsarianism assert to whom baptism should be administered and the [[Kingdom of heaven (Gospel of Matthew)|kingdom of heaven]] belongs, respectively arguing for children of believers and adults.

=== Kingdom of Heaven and object of baptism ===
'''Paedolapsarianism'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> (also called minorlapsarianism) is the view that God decreed that children of believers are the epitome of whom the Kingdom of Heaven belongs and are the proper object of baptism before He decreed election, reprobation, and the fall. This view was mainly promoted by Athenorian, Bishop Orihet.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nilsson |first=Martin |date=2022-07-26 |title=Athenorian, Who Was He and What Was His Significance? |url=https://medium.com/@Martin293/athenorian-who-was-he-and-what-was-his-significance-fcb12204ab8d |access-date=2022-11-10 |website=Medium |language=en}}</ref>
'''Credolapsarianism''' (also called larguslapsarianism) is the view that God decreed after the fall that adults only are those to whom the Kingdom of Heaven belongs and should be the object of baptism. This view was mainly promoted by Polysephus.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nilsson |first=Martin |date=2022-07-26 |title=Polysephus Who Was He and Why is He Important? |url=https://medium.com/@Martin293/early-life-b9262798a62c |access-date=2022-11-10 |website=Medium |language=en}}</ref>
According to the tenth canon of the Council of Corinth (447), the Church anathematizes anyone who denies the doctrine of paedolapsarianism.
