    I totally agree. At the age of 4 who is the child afraid of punishment from, God or parents?

    James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

    My question is when did you really know to do good?

    The plan is simple, but spiritual. The natural man, wise or fool, young our old, will not receive it.

    Why hasn't the originator of the thread responded? Please forgive my suspicious nature here (I can't help it, I was born this way), but I suspect plagiarism from a troll here also.

    I agree seeing Awareness, and accountability shown at the same time.[quote]
    There is awarness here, but no accountibility noticed by the child.

    But salvation is to be saved from both sin and Hell. If a child can't understand death and the Hell that follows, he can't be saved. But frankly, I don't think Hell is that hard to understand. Children learn about the pain of fire from a very early age.

    Is it possible that folks are reading Acts 16:31 as "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be regenerated"?

    I'm with you on this, he has one post and his profile says he is Church of God.

    We are having an interesting discussion though.
