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.
