Wait a minute Joe you said this:

Since, this happens in both Presby and Baptist churches how do Baptists "scripturally" excuse their mis-baptism of certain individuals? Presby by are covered under the covenant established in the O.T./N/T

Are you saying that an [color:"FF0000"]adult[/color] (an unregenerate person) who falsely professes Christ and asks to be baptized by the elders of the Presbyterian church is covered by the covenant established by the OT/NT? I can understand if an unregenerate [color:"FF0000"]adult[/color] who was baptized as an [color:"00FF00"]infant[/color] can be part of the visible church because of the OIKOS baptisms but doesn't the Presbyterian church as the Baptist Church strive to ensure that [color:"FF0000"]adults[/color] who ask to be baptized pass scrutiny? And if they do not are refused? I can concede your point regarding [color:"00FF00"]infants[/color] who are baptized but are unregenerate and remain so until [color:"FF0000"]adult[/color]. But how can you say that unregenerate [color:"FF0000"]adults[/color] who petition for baptism are likewise covered? Are we not both in the same condition? Both Baptist and Presbyterian Churches requiring that [color:"FF0000"]adults[/color] be true to what they profess when they are baptized?
