Infant baptism is particularly illustrative of the Methodist doctrine of prevenient grace. Infant baptism is seen in Methodism as a celebration of prevenient grace. God grants all sinners prevenient grace (prevenient meaning "coming before"). One must understand, however, what the doctrine of prevenient grace actually teaches. Likewise, without prevenient grace no sinner would be able to ask God for help. But God reaches out with "first grace" or "prevenient grace". Calvinists often object to prevenient grace, claiming it allows for Pelagianism or Semipelagianism. But God, through Christ, provides to each person prevenient grace, allowing each to choose salvation. They see the ceremony additionally as a celebration of God's prevenient grace. Wesley typically referred to it in 18th-century language as "prevenient grace". Prevenient grace is divine grace which precedes human decision. Calvin taught Irresistible Grace; Arminius taught Prevenient Grace. Thomas Jay Oord offers perhaps the most cogent free will theology presupposing prevenient grace. Prevenient grace, or the grace that "goes before" us, is given to all people.
