"If He had spoken of it in scripture, human nature would be to pin it down to a number, and then extrapolate it into a whole incorrect theology. Whatever that age is, is between each person and The Lord Himself."

My faith is based entirely on scripture. I will be completely honest and say that I have felt things, or heard things, that I believe to be true, but if I couldn't mesh those beliefs with scripture, those beliefs were really short lived. So, whenever I read a defense of a belief like the one that you posted above, I am pretty skeptical.

Concerning the age of accountability, I know that it survives in tradition amongst a number of Christians as well as in Judaism. Whether or not there is an exact date of accountability is moot, since there is no Biblical evidence of this. What I wonder is, if there is an "age of accountability" that is between God and an individual, where is there Biblical support for this? If there is no direct support, however there is support for the attestation that there are other parts of one's relationship with God that is exclusive to God and that individual as could be manifested today, where in the Bible is that support?

Brother to Brother(or Sister), I ask out of curiosity. I really do want to know, because, as I read the Bible now, I see no evidence of it.

I think there’s a New Testament verse indicating such a thing . . . and I agree that it’s individual between each individual and God—and varies with each child.
