What you must take issue with is my position that we are to treat our children prior to a making a credible profession of faith as ones for whom Christ died.
Sorry Ron, if I've misrepresented your position regarding presumptive regeneration. Yes, I do take issue with how we are to "treat" covenant children prior to their making a credible profession of faith. To "treat" them as having been atoned for before they actually profess faith, is to me no different than pronouncing them saved. Of course, you adamantly deny this and even say you urge them to conversion. I am of course, very happy to see that you do this. But there still remains that illogical inconsistency in this particular matter; i.e., how one can "treat" a child as being atoned for before there is any evidence to justify this treatment. Yes, yes... I know you want to base your view on the alleged "promise of God". And this is where we part company, for I cannot see any universal promise of salvation given to believing parents for their children. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The "promise" is: all who believe upon Christ will be saved infallibly.

Again, my apologies for misrepresenting your view. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/sorry.gif" alt="" />

In His Grace,
