Matthew,
Part of the advantage of the child being in a home with a believing parent is that as Timothy was instructed as child in the Holy Scriptures, that in love the parent presents the facts of the scripture, from Adam's fall to Jesus Ascension. The parent asks God to accomplish His good pleasure in that word being sent .
You are not saying that when a padeo parent instructs his child that that child somehow is able to savingly welcome the truth of scripture without the new birth,are you?
