Default A Thought on Calvinism taken to it's extreme conclusion

I despise the doctrines of Calvinism. I do not despise Calvin himself, or Knox, or Luther or Augustine or any man, but the actual doctrines of "grace", I find dispicable.

But, I had a thought, and I wonder if there are any calvinists that believe this.

Pretend I am a calvinist for the next few paragraphs.

All men on earth were ordained to either life or death before the foundation of the world.

All the elect are children of God, even before they are saved. The reprobate are of their father, the devil.

The Bible says this

Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

These children had angels in heaven, which behold the face of the father.

What about the unregenerate? the non-elect?

Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Of course the reprobate would have wormish spiritual bodies, they are of their father the devil.

Now look at this verse

1Ti 5:21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Why don't calvinists follow through to this logical extreme?

All the elect have spirit bodies in heaven already, and are born of the Heavenly Father, God, and all the reprobate have wormish spirit bodies, and are born of their father, the devil.

Which would bring us to mormonism.
