Obviously, then, they don't agree wholeheartedly on the doctrines of grace, otherwise they could agree on something so basic as to whom the covenant of grace is to be administered without practically coming to blows. Let's be clear -- the Baptist insistence on the excommunication of believers' children is as important as the excommunication of any individual from the church of God.
There is no excommunication because there is nothing to be excommunicated from. You are placing children in Christ when they are not in Christ unless Christ has put them in union with himself.
