Regenerate church membership has less to do with the ability of man to discern as it does with the ability of God to save. Baptists believe that God saves all those who turn to Christ in repentance and faith. This is no different than how Presbyterians view an adult convert. The difference between Presbyterians and Baptists is how view the New Covenant. Baptists understand the New Covenant includes only those who believe by faith in Christ. We don't presume to know, we assume that a credible proffession is real. Again, Presbyterians believe the same thing about adult converts. Therefore, you can't suggest Baptists practice presumptive regeneration without impugning Presbyterians.

I say Amen to Bill and agree, I am an adult convert to Presbyterianism. God saves all those who turn to Christ in repentance and faith. I place my self In Jesus hands and believe He is my Savior and Redeemer. I believe in Justification by Faith alone in Jesus alone .
