Where do you get the idea that Baptists would raise that objection?
That is answered in my first sentence above: "
...for the Church of the LORD Jesus Christ is for [professing] believers and their children." This is historic Reformed covenant theology which, to be safe, I'd venture to say that 99.9% Baptists reject. That's why they are Baptists, right?
No doubt, there are Baptists who would believe that children should not be removed from the formal corporate worship service of God, but for other reasons than the children are part of the Church. My contention is that children BELONG there but not simply for some practical or pragmatic reason.
Yes, yes... it's a paedo vs. credo difference.
But knowing that Baptists reject the historic Reformed and confessional doctrine of paedobaptism, it would be fruitless to labor the point. Thus, using other valid arguments which I also included in my reasons for rejecting "children's church", are often more convincing, unfortunately, but at least they sometimes are enough to make people think further about this issue.
