Not "being held responsible for the transgressions of my elders" and not being held accountable for my OWN transgressions are two different things. The age of accountability was a requirement for baptists when they decided to exclude children from the visible church. Since a "valid profession" is necessary in baptist theology, one must be old enough to formulate this profession AFTER becoming old enough to do so. I have asked both question related to this.......where is the age of accountability in scripture, and where does scripture exclude children from the visible church?
The other issue I have is that I'm a reformed AND orthodox kinda guy. I believe in the familial covenant as well as Sola Fide. An age of accountability means some are let into heaven due to their ignorance? What sola would that be? This is simply new theology.......well, relatively speaking in context of church history.
God bless,
