What is the Age of Accountability?
We see God's compassion for babies and young children in the book of Jonah in the Bible. In Jonah 3:11 it says, "And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left.?" In Deuteronomy, speaking of children entering the Promised Land, God said, "Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it" (Deuteronomy 1:39).
Another passage in the Bible, that makes it abundantly clear that babies and young children go to heaven when they die, is found in 2 Samuel 12. Here is the story of the sin of King David with Bathsheba. David was told by God that he would be judged for his sin, even though he had repented of it--David had given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme Him. The Bible says the baby was struck with sickness and died. We see this part of the story in 2 Samuel 12:13-23. David noticed that the servants were whispering, and understood that the baby had died. The servants thought that David would be very sad and go into mourning and more fasting; David, however, surprised them. Look at 2 Samuel 12: 20, which says, "So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate."

Bible Study: What is the Age of Accountability?
Also, I would like to say that the children who came to Jesus mentioned in John may well have been at the age of accountability for there is no SET age. I know one lady who was raised by a wonderful Christian family, and from early on.......when she could understand........they instructed her in the Word of God. She accepted Jesus as Lord of her life at the age of 8 years old. She is still a wonderful Christian today........a teacher at her church, and beloved mother, grandmother, and an inspiration to all who know her.
REMEMBER the title of this thread...................I WAS BORN A CHRISTIAN............so we are not addressing the exact age one can be born again..............we are addressing if one is BORN a Christian........ Please keep that in mind.
God bless

What is the Age of Accountability?
by Gary T. Panell
Some people think that God sent babies and young children to hell when He destroyed the world with the flood. This could not be further from the truth. God did not send the children to hell who perished in the flood. Yes, they died, but their spirit went to be with God. This is also the case for all babies and young children throughout history.
We see God's compassion for babies and young children in the book of Jonah in the Bible. In Jonah 3:11 it says, "And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left.?" In Deuteronomy, speaking of children entering the Promised Land, God said, "Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it" (Deuteronomy 1:39).

I know it can happen in very little children. (I am one that can not remember a time I did not believe. I was raised up in the faith,I was sent to a Christian school)
Now whether one can be born again in the womb,I believe two things that point it one again is John the Baptist and the other is a know fact of children in the womb. Remember Paul writes this
Romans 10
[SUP]14 [/SUP]How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? [SUP]15 [/SUP]And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[SUP][g][/SUP]
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[SUP][h][/SUP] [SUP]17 [/SUP]Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Children in the womb CAN HEAR and LEARN. A mother that is reading the scriptures while with children is preaching the word,he child is hearing the word and faith comes from hearing the word. Remember faith is a GIFT from GOD. This leads me to believe that it is possible for a child to be born again before they are ever born. Can I say there is a definitive answer in scripture? No But is there a definitive answer that a child can not be born again in the womb? No.
I believe this is one of those debatable matters that has no definitive answer. But this is why I believe what I believe on this matter.
