My wife and I got married 10 years ago. We met at church. It is a Baptist Church. Her dad is the pastor. I was Baptist at the time, but over many years found my way into Presbyterianism. I have attended a Presbyterian church on some Saturday nights, and even sometimes on Sunday mornings. However, going to two churches is difficult and it creates some division in the family. Because of that, I have decided to solely attend the family's Baptist church in spite of their none TULIP views and their staunch Dispensationalism.
However, I do have a question. We are trying for a child. I think it would be very difficult to deny Baptism, covenant membership to this child, but the Baptist church obviously won't baptize until a public profession can be articulated.
The Prebyterian church I've attended will baptize the baby due to the extenuating circumstances. My wife is supportive of baptizing the baby.
Should we just baptize the baby at the Presbyterian Church but to maintain unity with the family continue to attend the Baptist church? Or some other idea?
