I've been brought up in a Reformed church where the Covenant of Grace was taught and understood to be inclusive of children under both the Old and New Testament administrations. I respect those who practice credobaptism but can't help but feel that their children are viewed as outsiders and that they fail to see the continuity between the Old and New Covenants.

In the churches I've been a part of, this has been the case. But they have the whole "age of accountability" thing to cover their infants. With that teaching, which they claim is biblical although won't give any verse references, they don't need to baptize their babies.
I personally fall into the Credo camp, but I don't have an issue with the Paedo people. I don't see it as being an issue worth severing felloship and communion over. I do think it is a very good topic for discussion and something that every believer should study the Scriptures on, even if they aren't ever put in a situation where they should defend themselves against someone in their opposing camp.
***Random side question: Are there people who believe that you should be baptized as a baby and then baptized again when you come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ?***
