There is the "age of accountability." For each child, from what I understand, this is different.

For instance, I understood at the age of 7 that I was a "sinner" & became saved. I was raised in a Christian home, knew right from wrong & I knew where I'd end up if I didn't get right with God. Can't say I've been perfect or anything.

OTOH, some children may not comprehend spiritual matters. The child's conscience & understanding is what determines when they know they need God. It is said though, that most people become Christians & stay Christians, if they have been "saved" at a young age.

I would use an approach different than the big word SIN. Doing wrong is what a child understands...disobedience they understand.

There is no such thing as an age of accountability.

We are sinners from the womb.

Anything else is heresy.

Where do you find this "age of accountability." idea in the Bible
