{{short description|Aspect of Christian Reformed theology}}

[[Reformed theology]] studies 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), and the [[word stem]] (a type of [[Root (linguistics)|root]]) '''-lapsarianism'''.

Supralapsarianism and infralapsarianism assert that election and reprobation respectively preceded and succeeded the Fall logically, not temporally.
