I'm a convinced paedo-baptist but I find this kind of reasoning a little forced. It doesn't ask key questions but, instead, assumes a number of things. I would want to add the following:
1. What difference does the life, death and resurrection of Jesus make to the application of the Abrahamic covenant?
2. What differences are there between circumcision and the passover and between the Lord's Supper and Baptism?
seems to me we've got to feel the full weight of the covenantal baptism position at the point where it stresses our position the most.
