Varies by person. It's maturation. Jesus said unless we become like children we cannot enter into heaven. He's not talking about acting childish but striving to be as innocent as possible.

I don't decide, God does. Baptism is for those old enough and accountable for their sins. An innocent child is not accountable. We become like innocent children when we are baptized and our sins are washed away. Seriously, if you are a Christian you know this.
You were? Moonies? Branch Davidians?

So you obviously don’t agree with the Biblical doctrine of original sin. NP.
There isn't a Biblical doctrine of original sin. That's a doctrine devised by a man or men. Why it's important to study the Bible.
Ezekiel 18: 19-23

Untrue. You know it. You just choose to believe different doctrine.
No, it's a conclusion that doesn't jibe with the scripture. Read the Ezekiel verses.

Says you.
The biblical support for the doctrine of original sin is well established.
You know it. You just choose to believe it is wrong.
That’s your opinion and that is all it is.
Name the verses that support it?

No, look it up yourself.
You know where to find those who teach doctrines using opinions of scripture different from your opinions.

Babies are never accountable.
God is silent about a specific age. I'm guessing He is because of the variation.
A girl, boy, young lady, young man will come to that "age" at differing times.

You won’t if you don’t believe.
for your unbelief.
for your ignorance.

Must be one he doesn't like.
I gave you verses that support my position. How come you can't? You seem to believe you're going to shut me down but all you really prove is you aren't Bible based. You aren't a Christian. You're making it up as you go rather than submitting to God's will. A baby isn't born in sin. The original sin doctrine just seeks to justify why people sin. According to that doctrine people just can't help themselves. The problem with that is we are free moral agents. We choose whether we will sin or not. If we can't control ourselves then it means God is unjust. And that Jesus needlessly died on the cross. I can see where that would appeal to you. You won't be held accountable for your sin because you can't help it. So do whatever you like. Nothing matters except living as you please because what you want is paramount. Don't kid yourself. You can and will lose your soul to a devil's hell if you refuse to submit to God's will.

We gotta baptize these babies(if you want to call it that) by sprinkling or pouring (wrong scripturally) but whatever you like, to make sure they are saved.
But, when you're an accountable person, baptism isn't necessary for salvation. Just really, really believe, and accept Jesus in your heart.
Funny in a sad way.

You know the doctrine of original sin is supported by scripture, you just think that it’s wrong.
I certainly waste enough of my time here look it up, then disagree all you want.
