I hope I'm not opening a can of worms here, but I had an interesting thought.
I am a Baptist, but I am very intrigued as to what interpretation Presbyterian brothers would put on my situation.
I have a step-son. My (now)wife was never married, and unsaved, and had an unhappy relationship with a man some years ago. The only good result was a son, now aged 6.
He still sees his Dad. Now his mother is saved and married to me. He is my step-son. Under the laws of our country neither I nor his father has any legal rights regarding him, only his mother.
Now in the eyes of Covenant Theologians - is he in the covenant... or not? He has two believing parents, but not biologically.
I know its academic from my point of view but it has been baking my noodle for a few days now!
