The church should have baptized the infant with the stated expectation that the child must come to the Lord’s Supper when he is able to discern the Lord’s body (coming to the table is not optional), and that the child cannot discern the Lord’s body without individual, confessed faith in the Lord. In a biblical paedobaptist church, if a baptized child grows up and refuses to profess his faith in the Lord Jesus, that child must be removed from the church. Why? Because it is gross sin for the elders of a church to tolerate members who are known to be in rebellion against God.
