Bible Question (short): Age of accountability for children? |
Question (full): Many churches promote the belief in an "age of accountablitiy" for children. Usually that age is 12. According to that belief, children who die before reaching accountability (accident, illness, aborted) go to heaven. Where is this in the Bible? Is it a biblical idea? Or is it that each child's level of accountability is different according to many factors such as age, intelligence, maturity, responsibility? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!! |
