Chris, I am not sure how you are using these verses to support your view of an age of accountability? Are you saying that the age of accountability is not an age such as 12 but an age as in the time of the bondage of the old covenant? Interesting, but are not the reprobates still accountable? Or are you saying that all who died before the law or in lands where the law is not known are saved because they don't know the law and therefore are not condemned? Just not sure what you are saying.

And I am a Baptist. There is no age of > accountability presented in my Bible, where is it in yours? What about this: Rom 7:7-11 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
