No Christian children, Musket?
Come to my parish church and tell the kids that. They will disagree.
I have to say that I disagree with you, too, since I've worked with Christian children all my life. They live in Christian families and they're brought up in Christian tradition - and they generally seem to be quite at home in that context. They may grow up and choose some other path - but for the time that they're children, they're Christian children.
Now, if you're Anabaptist and believe only in adults belonging to churches, then maybe that's a different story. But many (maybe most) Christians bring their children up as Christians - and rightly so. When the kids become adults, the choice is theirs.
