Yup. I don't wish to hijack the thread, but some of we Presbyterians who baptize our covenant children long before they are able to articulate their faith in an adult manner, also would not withhold the Lord's Supper from them. Most Presbyterians in my country do, however, withhold holy communion from children until the Elders determine their eligibility. I just feel that no one of any age should be kept from the Table unless they are under church discipline. But I am in the minority on that point (which is based on 1st Cor. 11:28-29), and I wouldn't "go to the stake" for paedocommunion (as it is called) nor turn the Reformation on it's head for the sake of paedocommunion as those in the Federal Vision camp have done.

Knowing you the way I do, I suspect you have thought this matter through.
But I am curious, based on the verses you mentioned 1Cor. 11:28-29. In these verses it is clear that before someone eats the bread and drinks the cup, they need to examine themselves.
That being the case, how/why would a child who has not yet believed do that?
Also, if paedocommunion is indeed the correct view, would it not also give credibility to the presumptive regeneration camp with in those who believe in paedobaptism?
