Is My Child Too Young to Understand Salvation?

I’m often asked by parents if their child is to young to understand and really make a decision for Jesus. Although we generally hold off baptizing a child until they are 7, there is nothing Biblical about that.

A college student I know has written his testimony on his blog and you will see that even though he was being raised in a Christian home, there was a change when he realized what Jesus did for him and it wasn’t just words , or the lesson being taught, he knew – it changed his life.
