Again, this whole question seems to bow down to being able to distinguish between an expectation and presumption. Leaving aside infants for a moment, both sides of the debate must surely expect all adult church members with a credible profession of faith to be among the elect and part of the invisible church who will ultimately be saved. However, we do not presume that every professing adult is truly regenerate, otherwise we would not be able to make warnings against apostasy to members of the visible church such as are found in the epistle to the Hebrews.
