The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Preaching, Teaching and Reading the Word.

Joe,

In all fairness, I think the question first asked could be taken to mean ANY communication of the written Word, whether by hearing, reading or otherwise communicated, e.g., signing to the deaf. However, the WCF does make the exception for those intellectually challenged, infants, etc. to those means which we most associate as being used to communicate the Gospel. However, (am I vascillating here? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ) it is my firm belief that even in those exceptional cases, the essence of the Gospel IS communicated to the mind/heart of such elect individuals directly by the Holy Spirit. So, the answer would still be a qualified, "Yes", IMHO.

In His Grace,
