Bible Question: Salvation comes to those who believe and receive the messiah.Is it possible for a six year old to receive salvation.My friend's daughter that age says with confidence that she was saved after watching a children's programme on TBN.How do we respond to this as parents? |
Bible Answer: I do believe that this is clearly a question which needs a believing response from GOD to our prayer. Many times we're expected to act on what GOD has made known to us, and many times we're expected to go to Him for knowing. I believe this is clearly the latter. My response would be to go on as though this event had not occurred in raising my child, yet I would want to honor her nature and desire to think this way. |
