Is the three year old Child that dies?

[Ferris Bueller]

He had to grab me early--I was 8. I would have been unreachable by ninth grade, I think. (Duh, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to grab me at 8.) "I coulda had a V-8!"

I don't think I even knew what sin was at age eight.

I think I was 10 when I first 'asked Jesus into my heart' but without nurturing and support it would be another 25 years before I really understood and became truly born again but I know that God had his hand on me all the while.

 

[Ferris Bueller]

I died spiritually somewhere around the ninth grade. But I didn't hear the Good News of God's forgiveness and became saved until I was 23 years old.

In hindsight, I, too, realized that God was there all along, knowing that I was ground that the word of God would grow in.

Just as appoint of interest, I once heard J. Vernon Mc Gee Preach That the Age Of Accountability May be as high as 30 years of age.....Jesus did not start His Ministry until he was 30 and McGee tied that in somehow....I don’t remember the details, and I don’t agree.....just thought that it was interesting...

Does the three year old child who never called out the name Jesus saved by never knowing who He was?

saved from what?

 

[MatthewG]

I don’t know you tell me what you think it means, brother @bbyrd009

I don't think I even knew what sin was at age eight.

All I knew is when I would get upset and hateful sometimes I would pray and ask God to forgive me and I’ll never do it again. But I always end up doing whatever it was again.

It was around the age of 16: still never knowing Jesus even when calling out to God as mentioned before I started to hate him, and everyone else.

Your right about the time it takes to grow in the Lord it is not an overnight process it’s a long protracted process.

Praise God.

It’s a blessing to know regardless if someone becomes into the acknowledgment of their sin. It was paid for on the cross and God still loves the person… God desires for us to come to know the Son so that we can have freedom from bondage of sin and death. Jesus has overcame death, even spiritual death for all.

The thing is if one hears the word of God then desires to know more and become part of the heavenly kingdom right?

I still don't know what it is half of the time.

"I die daily."

I think the term: "Age Of Accountability" is a misleading label theologians attached to a concept that, as a result of said label, is actually a subject we should all understand a lot better than we do. Theologians are like politics: They ruin everything.

We all sin. But the merciful will obtain mercy on Judgment Day. Those who vote to kill people will not receive mercy!

James 2:13 (NKJV)
13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

 

[Jane_Doe22]

I’m firmly of the belief that sin cannot happen until the person is of age to realize that ___ is wrong and against God’s ways. There must be that maturity for accountability.

A young kid below that age is not of accountability and has no sin. The are saved by the grace of God, for He does not have the innocent parish.

 

[Ernest T. Bass]

All people are born without sin (Romans 4:15; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:8-9) and for those that die in this innocent state will be saved.

yet perishing is ezackly what the three year old innocent did?

and for those that die in this innocent state will be saved.

saved from what, then?

i gave you a like there, but really you prolly knew it fine, if not by that label

 

[Ernest T. Bass]

saved from what, then?

God's vengeance in flaming fire, 2 Thessalonians 1:8

 

[Titus]

I have Agape Love for Earnest T Bass.

Does the three year old child who never called out the name Jesus saved by never knowing who He was?

Is the child dammed to hell forever by God?

In my understanding Jesus saved the child having paid for the sin of the Child. Even more so Jesus has had victory over sin, and defeated, sin, death, hell/Sheol, and separation from God. Which was for all people!

God is good, God love, God is just, God is merciful… to suggest that child goes to hell damned forever is simply just not biblical to me.

Thoughts comments?

For those who have lost children my heart goes out to you, and just know God is good and God has resurrected them! God is not like Man!

There are two possibilities:

1. God has pronounced such a person without sin by the blood of Christ by election, by bringing them to the End (whom is Christ) shortening their days of tribulation.
2. Such a person is not part of the Elect, and only receives the gift of life in this world for so long as serves His purpose...perhaps for someone else.

Same for me for Titus.

God does what God wills. I trust that whatever God does it is good. I personally believe He has worked them into his plan of salvation.
