It is also biblical that the faith of the parents provides protection for the child until he or she reaches the age of responsibility.

While the Arminians rage about this only the Calvinists trust God enough to do what is just. Interesting don't you think?

Yes Mom, it is interesting indeed. In your Creation class, and if you are studying all of Genesis, you will find verses in the history and progression of Abraham's family that indicate that the state of the parents and the holiness of the marriage were important in what souls were born into the family. Further along, in the OT, we see where once a year, one family was selected out of all the tribes to appear before God and be examined. The parents bore the responsibility for the children in the household. In the sin of Achan, see how he brought calamity upon all in his tent.

You would do well to spend some time reading Wesley's comments on infant baptism before you assert that you know what you're talking about.
