'''Paedolapsarianism''' (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 first articulated by praised theologian Athenorian “ The clear teaching of the scriptures [Eph 1:3] is that of which I will call paedolapsarianism, this doctrine is the belief in which that, God decreed children of believers are the primary and epitome of whom the kingdom [of heaven] belongs, and therefore the proper object of baptism, all of which he decreed before the foundations of the world.” — Athenorian’s homily on Ephesians 1:3 from his workSumma of the proper and necessary purpose of baptism. est 239 AD.

'''Credolapsarianism''' (also called larguslapsarianism) is the view that God dedcreed after the fall that Adults only are those whom the kingdom of heaven belongs and are those only of whom should be the object of baptism.

This view was first articulated by renowned early church theologian Polysephus “ For as God has ordained from after the fall the sacrament of holy baptism, his ordination of that sacrament by which we are undoubtedly regenerate is only applicable to those who receive and belong to the Kingdom of Heaven [Adult Converts]….” -Polysephus homily on John 3:16 from his book Against the tragedy of Paedolapsarianism. est 315 AD.
