And another one...
Matthew 18:1-5
The disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
I hope this answers your question :-D

Yes it does because I believe these passages to be true. The questions I had come up with regarding this had to do with people who believe in the 'elect' or the 144K or those that believe in original sin. Those sorta doctrines might be hard to reconcile with this belief. I have not heard this issue addressed in those terms and I am curious. Seeing we have so many Freepers of various faiths I thought this would be a great place to get an idea of what others believe.

Was Jesus speaking of age or spiritual condition?
