I wouldn't want to think babies are eternally separated from God, but I can't find this age of accountability in the bible. What age of is it? I even just tried google for perspective on it. None of the articles could pin down anything.
We are sinners at conception, so there is a bit of inherent sin.

Yes. This is revealed in the book of Genesis..
So if a little one has not yet come to the knowledge of Good and Evil they likewise are acceptable to God as good... Do you agree?
So then lets look at what happened during the time of the exodus when the Hebrews first came to the borders of the promised land, they sent is scouts to spy out the land and after the scouts came back and gave their report the Hebrews refused to go into the promised land to take possession of it.. We read::
(Deuteronomy 1:29-39) "Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. {30} The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; {31} And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. {32} Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, {33} Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. {34} And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, {35} Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, {36} Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. {37} Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. {38} But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. {39} Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it."
So on the day the Hebrews rebelled God decided to make them wander in the wilderness for 40 years so that the Hebrews who had knowledge of good and evil would die and never see the promised land.. But the little ones who did not have the knowledge of good and evil God allowed them to enter into the promised land after the 40 years where completed.. So little ones exist and do not have the knowledge of good and evil and thus they are still good and acceptable to God..
