And, for my Presbyterian brothers, please note that I am not trying to bait anyone here. I just want sincere answers to these questions.
I am aware that many Presbyterian denominations & churches allow Baptists to become members of one kind of another.
1) Does a Presbyterian elder who allows Baptists to become members take exception to WCF, Chapter 28, Sections 4&5?
If not, how does one explain that a Baptist is not sinning by not baptizing their child as a member under your care? Is it simply, then, a matter of admonishment left to the decision of each family?
2) Are there any Presbyterian denominations or churches who do not allow Baptists as members?
Thank you in advance.

Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one, or both, believing parents, are to be baptized
Although it be a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance...
