Why would any Christian parent who is in a right relationship with the Lord and His Church want to exclude their child from this external mark of inclusion in the covenant community of believers?

Now Marie has already answered this question Wes but I believe that Speratus question is spawned by his belief in baptismal regeneration. But what I must ask is if baptism doesn't change the eternal destination of the infant why do you express concern for this covenantal mark? You and I both know that saving of elect infants is done by God's grace not the sprinkling of water upon a babe. So what is your concern unless its for the parents?

Peter

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
