Susan,

I don't believe I ever said that we should treat covenant children as "Christians." What I have said is that we ought to treat covenant children as ones for whom Christ died -- and who need to repent and come to faith in Christ alone.

That is how you phrased it in a previous post.

I think that Joe is exactly right when he said that you don't believe in Presumptive Regeneration, but I believe you are instead holding to Presumptive Election, because to regard unconverted children "as sheep for whom Christ died", or "as children of the promise" without knowing they are converted is presuming they are elect, and God hasn't given us that information. Wouldn't it be much better to say to your child instead?, "Christ died for sinners. He has promised to save all those who will come to Him in true repentance and faith." If you decide to do this, then we won't have anything else left to quibble over except Baptism! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
