I've come across a doctrine.
I’ve come across a doctrine that stipulates the saints are never under wrath prior to conversion. It seems to be coming from the US. Has anyone come across this and do you have any idea where it originates?
Quote: ”Those Christ died for are never in a condemned state before God.
They were never under God’s wrath at any time because their sins
have been charged to Christ in their behalf: God is propitiated.”
Thanks in advance.

Who is the quote from?
Hyper-Calvinists and Barthians tend to ignore the real transition from wrath to grace in human history. I couldn’t say who in particular might have originated the quotation you’ve provided. I would say that I was certainly once a child of wrath, per Ephesians 2:1-3.

The quote is from a private individual.
That sounds like “Eternal Justification”. I believe Kuyper held to that view. Basically the premise (as I understand it) is that the elect could not be truly under condemnation and that their justification precedes their conversion.
