Regenerate Children

This is something I have been thinking about lately. Let me see if I can articulate this.

My youngest child is eight, she will be nine July 4th. She was baptized two years ago, after she made a profession of faith. We were credo then.

My question is how do we know that our children are regenerated? My obvious concern would be death at this age. My daughter is certainly a most godly child. But I have known children who, for all appearances, were Christian children and then grew to adulthood in apostasy (my 24 year old for one) and were obviously never regenerated.

She also desires to partake of the Lord’s Supper, but I haven’t yet allowed her to in our new church.

my response… sad and pop

I feel your pain! I never see you at ABC anymore, but we’re having the paedocom discussion over there, too.

I saw that after Valerie linked to it. I only briefly looked over it… I didn’t want to post anything because my head would explode! :)

Have you asked him (gently) how he thinks his refusal to let her partake of the means of grace is helping or protecting her?

I haven’t said anything. To her :)

I still may, but I was just too annoyed about that mentality to say anything productive.
