Our church has grown very rapidly in the past ten years or so and there are a lot of refugees from credo-baptist backgrounds who are slowly being won over to reformed doctrine by [b:8498f00490]solid, Christ-exalting, reformed, expositional preaching[/b:8498f00490].

Thoughts?[/quote:8498f00490]

Our church also has solid, Christ-exalting, reformed, expositional preaching, but no one in our midst is being won over to infant baptism....

Seriously though, to be consistent, you should have baptized all of your children. Your child by birth or adoption is still your child. In the Presbyterian view, the child of a believer is a covenant child, period. You don't pray to adopt a covenant child as opposed to a non-covanant child, because when you adopt, that child IS a covenant child.

But as a Credo-Baptist, of course, I think that no child is a covenant child unless they have been saved. It is regeneration/salvation that puts them in the covenant, not their parentage.
