> That's a perfectly logical position to take
from the worldly side of things, but from a
Christian point of view, it does not make much
sense. How much knowledge, exposure, and
maturity does one have to be for the Holy Spirit
to be able to move in one's heart? Basically,
one needs none of these things.

Spirit calls to a child, and that child listens and
accepts, then that is not too young, and who is
anyone to object and say that one is not old
enough or smart enough or ready enough to
accept He who calls the child to Him?

Also keep in mind that it is a *dangerous*
position to take, saying that a child cannot be
saved. In three out of the four gospels, Christ
is recorded as saying that it would be better
for someone to have a millstone (a very heavy
stone used for grinding) hanged around their
neck and drowned in the sea than for them to
cause a little child to stumble in his faith.
