Age of Accountability


What is the "age of accountability"? Do babies go to heaven?

Points to consider:

1. Little ones have no knowledge of good or evil
Deuteronomy 1:39
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

2, The law is the knowledge of sin
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

3. Where there is no law, there is no transgression
Romans 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Note: changed point from no sin to no transgression. Transgression God counts, yet every is imperfect and commit sins.

4. There is a category of people whom God will not impute sin
Romans 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
