Ron,
Maybe it would help if you define exactly what you mean when you say you believe in "treating Covenant children as Christians."

This sounds like you are saying that you are treating them as though they are already Christians.

I think we should treat our children as gifts given to us by God, who we are to teach about God, salvation and the Bible while praying for them and hoping that one day God will graciously shows them mercy, they will put their faith in Christ and be saved. Do you mean more than that here?
