In
modern times parents neglect gospel teaching to their children. They assume
that their child is innocent, harmless, and therefore undeserving of divine
judgment. But parents ought to be warned this sort of thinking could be very
dangerous because the Bible does not give a clear-cut age of accountability.
This is not to say that all infants go to hell, but it ought to be a warning
that if a child is old enough to be saved then they are most certainly old
enough to be damned.
There
are many children who are saved at the ages of five, seven, or eleven, and
therefore it is safe to say that if these same children had not been saved then
they would have been damned because all have sinned and fallen short of the
glory of God (Rom. 3:23). (Peter Sammons, Reprobation and God’s Sovereignty:
Recovering a Biblical Doctrine [Grand Rapids, Mich.: Kregel Academic,
