Bible Question:
Computer crash...lost references; I need references for the following; God imputes forgiveness to an infant at birth until he reaches the age of accountabilty. |
Bible Answer: Steve Camp has a good discussion of this at http://stevenjcamp.blogspot.com/2005/08/how-wide-is-narrow-roadthe-gospel-of.html "The age of accountability simply means that there will be a time when a child has matured to an age that he is morally responsible and culpable for his own actions and can fully understand the gospel, his own sin, who the Lord is, what is repentance, faith, grace, etc. to inherit salvation. Up until that time, the child is seen as in a state where they are not culpable spiritually and upon their death are granted instant heaven. Not one proponent of this kind of teaching can cite one verse, anywhere in Scripture, where this is taught. Not one--and that should be a spiritual red flag." |
