    I have been wondering. What age is considered to young to be able to make a decision to accept Jesus into your life?

    I do not know at what age a child might be too young to accept Jesus. I have known some children who have made true confessions of Christ (as born out by their subsequent adult lives) as young as 5. I have known others who were not ready to accept Him until much older ... and some, like myself, who were mature adults before we ever did.

    I feel as though you can work Jesus into their lives as young as possible. Not necessarily brainwashing or indoctrinating per se, but to simply encourage them to develop a relationship with God as soon as possible.
    1 Peter 2:9 (New International Version)

    But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    I agree with the above posters as I was saved when I was four years old. I didn't necessarily understand everything but I knew that I needed Jesus in my heart because I sinned and I wanted Him to live inside of me forever.

    Well i guess it all depends on how early you understand everything. I was saved when i was 10. By then most kids can understand stuff. 4 is young but i see how a lot of kids could understand it.
