Why the Children of Every Communicant Christian in Every Christian Denomination Is Baptized and Partaking in Communion

 I have often said that I have no need to convince anyone to allow their children to partake in either baptism or communion since I believe in federal headship. My only purpose of teaching that they should is to be consistent with what is already happening and to stop the unnecessary vitriol and division that often occurs around these issues. But make no mistake, every child of every Christian for all time has, is, and will always partake in whatever their parents partake in, and that includes baptism and communion. Every child is baptized with his parent. Every child eats the bread and drinks the wine if his parent does. Every child is holy to the Lord if his parent is. Every child is a Christian if his parent is. Every. Single. One.

All of the Baptists, all of the Presbyterians, everyone is causing their children to partake in baptism and communion to the degree that they do. If federal headship is true then anyone who condemns these practices condemns themselves, for all are doing it whether they realize it or not. By your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned. 

So you cannot avoid any harm to your little ones by barring them from the table or keeping them from baptism unless you yourself do not partake in those, but then you would fall under the warning of Christ, "Unless you eat of the Son of Man's flesh and drink his blood, you will have no life in yourselves" (John 6:53). If you do partake, therefore, which you must do so as a Christian, then your entire household is in danger if not taken in a worthy manner. It cannot be avoided except to take it in a worthy manner, i.e., not hoarding it. that seeks to love other Christians by allowing them to partake in it as well. And if all already are partakers in these sacraments then we ought to all be consistent in communicating that truth by allowing them to visibly partake in it with us whenever they can.
