2. this would mean infants are not born NC members [Ps. 51:5]
3. we cannot know without doubt that every confession of faith is a credible profession of true regeneration so the leap is made from a hyper covenantal approach "BAPTIZE BASED ON PHYSICAL SEED!"
4. paedobaptists willingly create covenant breakers by sprinkling every infant born of the physical seed
5. paedobaptists must ignore that circumcision is an ordinance for the physical descendants of Abraham [John 8:31]
6. paedobaptists must ignore that baptism is for his spiritual descendants of Abraham [Gal 3:7 & 4:28] because “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” [Gal 6:15.]
7. paedobaptists must ignore who the children of Abraham are and “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” [Gal 3:27-29.] the physical seed is nothing, “if ye be in Christ” is what matters and makes you Abraham’s seed, paedobaptists must ignore that we are Abraham’s seed by faith, not birth.

In closing, paedobaptists have an imbalance in their argument for baptism. You must deal with your own conclusions, starting with the argument for the physical seed being identical with the spiritual seed and children being born into the New Covenant.
