i don,t think they have lived long enough for God to put that much responsibility on them

Agree. I'm reminded of the age requirement of the Israel children to NOT be held accountable for the sin of idolatry and thus were allowed to enter the promised land after the 40 years.

There is a time in every one of our kids lives when they have to move beyond "this is what mommy and daddy think" and test those beliefs and take ownership of what they will call truth in their particular worldview. We think they may be rebelling but they are seeking to establish their own rules of life.

If you haven't listened to Paul Washer on testing yourself to see if one is in the faith then I highly recommend it. Every Youth Leader should show this to their group.

That is one of the reasons i think that it is wrong for a kid who is not dry behind the ears to be trying to preach the gospel.

They do have to establish their own rules, some may be lost forever and some will go through hell on earth but
will be saved.
