I agree with you of course. Divided families are also taught in the OT as well--as I cited in my post above w/Noah.... But, do you have an example in Scripture of a child within the covenant not being circumcised/baptized, because they are from a divided family? If there is a beleiver...there should be a baptism is the example I see....(I am speaking of infants here....).

Though there may be divided families after the fact, this does not change the eternal covenant of God ........ NO WHERE do we see the covenant of circumcision NOT applied to the covenant family: not in a (1) possible future falling away, nor, in a (2) possible dividing of the family later. What we do see is family circumcision in obedience the covenant God gave us. What we do see in covenantal loyalty.
