At what age do children stop getting a free pass? What's the biblical support for that?
There is no cut off age, neither does the bible state one. Everyone is taken on an individual basis based on how much they know, their motives, etc. All things that establish a person's culpability.

What's the biblical support for that?Is there an exact age for that? I'm not aware of any Biblical support for an "exact age" when children stop "getting a free pass". I just pointed out where Jesus said that unless a person is converted and humbles himself as a little child they shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven....and that whosoever shall humble himself as a little child the same shall be called the greatest in Heaven. What would you say the "cut off age" is? I'm going to say, from what I've read and studied, that every person is different in personality, maturity, understanding, and in natural abilities. I'm going to guess that as a child grows and matures into the teen years and into adulthood, and when they become fully aware and understanding of the differences between right and wrong, and the choices they make to commit wrong, then they start becoming accountable for their actions. That's my guess. What would you say the Biblical support for the "cut off" age is for when children stop getting a "free pass"?
^said it much better than I did.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
