The term "age of accountability" indicates when a child is aware of his sin.
So when an infant baby dies - does he go to heaven?
If so - then at about what age is the "age of accountability"
Open for discussion.

Only age I know of accountability was in Wilderness, as God had all under 20 go into promise land. -
The "age of accountability" is a myth. Everyone is accountable for his/her own sinful condition.
I believe God, in his mercy, graciously numbered all those children who die in infancy among the elect. David indicates that in 2 Samuel 12:23 after the birth of his son, who then died, "But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."
Some say that is simply David saying he will also go to the grave but I am not that pessimistic. David was a man after God's own heart and when he died he went to be with our Lord, and there, also, he was with his son.
