Baptists and Prayer

Scott, is the way you're reading the Standards here (that God normally regenerates at baptism) the typical, historical way this has been understood? I am sure there are PB threads on it (seems like there was one not long ago) but I don't have time to research.

I haven't read ch. 28 1. and 6. as speaking
to regeneration at baptism, but as saying that the efficacy of baptism lies in its right use, which would be pursuing holiness as a baptized covenant member in the fear of the Lord.
I thought that Presbyterians would affirm the water baptism as being the sign and seal that the child is one of the community of faith, but would have to reaffirm that by a profession of faith in Christ later on?
