That appears to be "presumptive regeneration" which mainly is taught in the more classic Dutch Reformed Churches. Berkhof, in his Systematic Theology wrote about "covenant children" having the "seed of faith", and upon that they are to be baptized. The premise is that "in time" that faith will express itself and the child will join the church, i.e., he/she will become a communicate member. Not only is this totally unbiblical but it also denies the 5th Head of Doctrine; The Perseverance/Preservation of the Saints. How? Because they admit that it is possible for one of these covenant children to repudiate the faith and become apostate.
