Innocence of little children. The fact that we commit sin in the first place is directly attributable to Adam, and therefore unjust, since, according to Protestant theology, we didn't exist at that time and had no say whatsoever in what Adam did, and yet God created us at a later time with a sin nature precisely because of what Adam did. (Doctrine of original sin).

In other words, we have been punished for something we had no say in and no part of, yet escape from that punishment is conditional. IE we have to become Christian.

Interesting doctrine. I don't believe it for a minute, but it is interesting. Little children belong to Jesus Christ. All of us are children of God. Salvation is something that is worked out between the individual and the Lord, preferably on ones knees.

I'd say the Bible is crystal clear on that...There's a lot of debate as to what or who is a Christian, but if your're thinkin' on getting to God without being a Christian, I believe you're in for a big surprise...
