While now i believe in infant baptism I do want to warn about the idea of presumptive regeneration. You must instruct your children in the ways of the Lord. Even most baptist churches have sunday school classes for children. The problem with the traditional southern baptist (Not the Mohler and Dever types) is that they carry on the Finnylike tradition of decisional regeneration and making claims to faith as the sign of conversion as opposed to spiritual fruits. We baptize children because of the promise of faith not because they have that saving faith. But God is not obligated to save someone just because of their parents... that undermines the doctrine of unconditional election.
