Luke 18:16-17 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

In my own opinion and in consent with the above scriptural verses, children or infants should be allowed to know Christ at any age.

What do you think?

Accept Christ is not the same as knowing Him and Coming to Him!

So you can take them to Christ but they might not know Him.

And even after knowing Him, it is up to them to choose to accept or reject Him

The Moment a child begins to differentiate btw right and wrong or good and bad, you lead him or her to Christ.

These days , kids are becoming sharper at very tender age.
The devil and his agents know this and are also out to grab kids at that veey tender age.

Dont be a dull parent or guide! Lead that child to JESUS before the devil and his agents help you ro destroy them.

I agree with you Sir. Children are still tender, their hearts are still soft, so it is the best time for them to accept Christ into their lives.
Unlike the old people that have seen it all and whose hearts have become harden with iron as a result of their their negative experiences about God.

Accept and know are the same in meaning.
They are kinda synonyms.

We can trace the age of accountability back to the Old Testament where the God declared that all Israelites above "20yrs old" who murmured will not enter the promised land but we also have an occurrence in the New Testament where Jesus Christ was apparently missing and was found in the temple, He was age "12".

so what I can deduce that age of accountability has reduced from 20yrs in the Old testament to about 12yrs today.

my submission

Indoctrination is why most people here are in the religion their parents belong to.

If you were born in India, you'd most likely be Hindu right now.

If you were born in China you'd most likely be a Buddhist

If you were born in Israel you'd most likely be a Jewish religion adherent

If you were born in Japan you'd most likely be a Shintoist


It's all indoctrination

Altar Call

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins
And accept You as my Lord and Saviour,
I believe you died for me
To make me a new man/woman.
Forgive me all my sins,
wash me with your blood,
And give me a new heart.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul.
Now I believe that I am born again,
And I am a child of GOD.
Amen!

No Sir!

Accept - - - Gba
Know - - - Mo(n)

Child Inductrination is Manipulation and Achaic

No age! Stop child abuse and threatening.

I don't know..
But Man utd go beat Chelsea today.

Leave the gimmick and allow the children study the bible at their pace and live by its teachings.

And if you were born a Christian you are likely going to be Christian, there is no age limit for indoctrination.
Every child, from day one copies what they see about their parents into their brain and it steaks there

When the baby knows his wrong and right probably by 10, I mean by 10 the child have started to know how to lie that means the child at 10 has started knows what is wrong and what is right... But some will say by 7

At nO age, religion is scam

Religion is a scam

For me, while they are still in the womb, even before been born, lead and immerse them in God through prayers. So their entire lives right from foundation will be consecrated to Christ/ God.

Till this age some grown up persons are still daft.

How do you guys reason all this nonsense stuffs sef.


When any child is born into any religion.
Automatically he/she is part of that religion.
Or how else can this be explained.

Okay let me ask from the christian angle
Why will the child accept Christ,was it not Christ that brought the child to earth.
So why are you guys confusing us again ??

That is rat's piss. Peter Obi and PDP people know Tinubu is the president but do they accept him? No.

If your question means making them to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, then we should take a clue from the Scriptures. At age 12 Christ Jesus was already in the temple and we all know what He was doing there.

Luke.2.42 - And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
Luke.2.47 - And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
Luke.2.48 - So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
Luke.2.49 - And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"



From the above I'll say probably it's better a child be made known to Jesus from the age of 8.

For me as a little child though I can't remember saying any of it, but it's what my mum tells me , that whenever I return home from school (this is my nursery school days) that I do normally tell her that my auntie at school says that we should tell our parents t take us to church and do it repeatedly almost every week.....this event happens during the early '80s.

So if a child's life is allowed to form from the nursery school such child is taken to the church or given to a good teacher of the word that will teach the Scripture to the child and the child will have informed knowledge of Jesus Christ and God and even the Holy Spirit at an early age.
So with children it varies but as long as a child is watched and such been noticed to differentiate between right and wrong and a godly child will ask certain questions that will make you know that this one is ripe to be lead to Jesus and a proper follow up is made.
It is one thing to know Jesus and another thing to have a relationship with Him. Many believers fall on the knowing aspect just like the Pharisees and Sadducees....

It take the grace of God in all of these.
One of the major flaws about Christianity is making someone become so religious but never ever coming to the Truth.

You are the one confusing yourself. it is grown ups and adults who have a right and power to accept or reject anything. Anything at all.

A child does not which is why you see it is always a grown up/youth/adult who when he sees he has a right to choose exercises his right to accept the religion his parents gave him or to reject it and choose another.

That is why we have what is called "ratification"

bixton:

This is not true. The Truth and the bible is there for all to see but the same first Truth is that people do not like Truth and therefore more teachers of Christianity water it down plus devils creating there own evil perversion of Christianity, thereby making anyone who is seriously, looking the Truth to have to the work to get it.

Did you pay attention to the words "most likely"? That implies there are exceptions but they remain that, exceptions

Everything we learn in this world we learn through and by indoctrination in eg this very English you speak.

But as grown ups we change from one indoctrination to another as we may thereafter choose

At any age when they understand the message.

That's why it's wrong to do water baptism for infant.

You can dedicate them, don't baptise them.

Jesus was dedicated as a baby, then got baptized by John

Catholic n others should stop this wrong doctrine

Age 3months 2 weeks

I disagree, immediately a child is born lead him or her immediately with your act of Christ alike character and the the child will be growing up following it up, I have seen a 1 year old baby giving her mother sign of prayer in the night because that's what mummy normally do anytime she wants to sleep
