Where did I say they do not need to see their need for Christ? That is what publicly professing faith is all about. You are teaching them to know and embrace Christ. And I do not at all deny the need for regeneration. The problem as a parent is I can't give it to them. Only God can. And for a child raised in the church, he may never know the moment when regeneration occurred. What is repentance going to look like in a child who has been taught the faith from infancy? Unless he has a rebellious phase, you aren't going to see a significant outward change. Regeneration will show itself more by the self-realization that he does truly believe rather than a dramatic conversion experience.
Again, I was emphasizing the dimension of daily practice in child rearing. How do you treat your children? Are you teaching them to how to know and obey God and believe the gospel? Are you teaching them to pray? Are you teaching them Christian standards of conduct? If so, you are teaching them to visibly/outwardly profess faith in Christ. That is your default. You are not training them to be atheists. Credobaptists, at least the ones I know, still take this approach to parenting, even though they deny their children visible church membership. That is the inconsistency I was pointing out.
If you have a different approach in Christian parenting I'd like to hear it.
We must have a different understanding of what professing faith in Christ actually means. You seem to be equating a child going through with the teaching process as a profession of faith in and of itself, while I hope that the process results in a profession of faith.
Also, no man can teach his child "how to...believe the gospel." Again, that is the work of the Holy Spirit alone. You know that, so perhaps you misspoke here.
To summarize, I want to raise my children in the church and in a Christian home, hoping they will one day, purposefully and conscientiously, place their faith in Christ - make a profession of faith, if you will. Until that day, they will not be admitted as members of the local church.
