You simply assume by dogma that those who went out from us cannot include those born into the status of the church and then later manifested that they were unbelievers.
Read the article I gave you above RonD, as you are not correctly interpreting 2 Peter 2:1! The thought of you actually using this verse as your proof text is really "isogesis".

Accordingly, either you must say that all the visible church is not to be treated as the church for whom Christ died, or you must reject these Reformed confessions.
I DO NOT put ANY history, confession or otherwise, above the Scriptures, but I now see you think it is more inspired than God's Word! In addition, I now understand that you believe an infant of a believer should be presumed regenerate at birth (and thus a member of the invisible Church) and later crawl out of the covenant and then be reprobate. Of course, this means you deny at least the Perseverance of the Saints and Total Depravity, which means you (1) do not believe the confessions (2) are not a Calvinist!

Why do you make a distinction in the visible and indivisible Church "for children" if YOU are going to presume them all regenerated? If you presume them regenerate then you must presume them a member of the invisible Church! Are there unregenerate members in the invisible Church? Do you pray for the salvation of your children RonD?

Please if you are going to continue this use a Scripture for your defense and exegete it "fully" in context as no one from the PR side has ever done that here "fully" to prove their point.
