When folks first come to Reformed convictions they often go through the "Cage Stage" of Calvinism. However, in time, they outgrow it, mature, and temper their zeal with persuasion. Many of late have been told to lock themselves inside the cage and to throw away the key (1/2)

There's a first for everything. As I was baptizing a covenant child, he proceeded to untie my bowtie during my prayer. Managed to re-tie it without the assistance of a mirror before going on to preach. Covenantally and sartorially, pretty epic day.

I feel for those for whom this is true. But in my church, my people relish and savor this doctrine and are comforted by it whenever it is preached. That’s why God told us about it, for our comfort.

The Paedocommunionist gives his child communion for the same reason the Baptist withholds baptism from his child. Both, in their own way, stress the objectivity of the covenant and so restrict or permit access to the sacraments upon the presumption of regeneration tied to baptism

The Reformed view of covenant children (and their baptism by extension) safely navigates between the two equal but opposite ditches of skepticism/suspicion and presumption. Christian parents are to have a hopeful expectation that their children will call upon the name of the Lord
