"The great distinction between
Reformed paedobaptist tradition and
the historic Baptist position, although
both are essentially Covenantal in their
theology, is that, first, the Baptists have held that there are elements of diversity within the covenants, while
Reformed tradition has held that the
Abrahamic Covenant was and is identical
with the Covenant of Grace [One
Covenant, two administrations]. Second,
that the Covenant of Grace is just
that — a Covenant in which grace is both
free and sovereign — and thus pertains
to the elect alone. Reformed paedobaptists necessarily corrupt the nature of free and sovereign grace with the inclusion of the infant children of believing parents upon the idea of “covenant children” and presumptive regeneration."

And so paedobaptists "necessarily corrupt the nature of free and sovereign grace....."
Of course they do. They do not permit the Almighty God to choose his elect. All the paedos have to do is have more babies, and hey presto, another elect soul. This is how Presby churches fill up with tares, even into the ministry.
