Greetings, Ben, You said: “I quickly scanned the Pelagian link. Interesting. The church I go to believes in the age of accountability. Is there any scriptural reference to this?" This idea of “age of accountability” doesn’t occur anywhere in the Scriptures so it should be ignored as a fallacy. Over 1,300 million people of all ages perished in the Great World-wide Flood in the time of Noah [Genesis chapter 7]. In that mass destruction, did the LORD God spare all children under “the age of accountability”? No, because we’re told in 2 Peter 3:6 that the world that then was, including the population, perished. The sole survivors were Noah and his family; eight people in total. Therefore I contend that this idea of “age of accountability” is a religious superstition, and a myth. You said: “According to the Pelagian link there is no such thing. I would believe that God is merciful to infants however.” It’s always preferable to believe what the Scriptures teach. If the Scriptures do not specifically teach a particular idea, it’s either irrelevant or untrue or both. Sola Scriptura! Regards, Michael |
