The age of accountability is the concept that those who die before reaching the age of accountability are automatically saved by God’s grace and mercy. The age of accountability is the belief that God saves all those who die never having possessed the ability to make a decision for or against Christ. Thirteen is the most common age suggested for the age of accountability, based on the Jewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13.
Umri wa kuwajibika ni dhana kwamba wale wanao kufa kabla ya kufikia umri wa uwajibikaji moja kwa moja huokolewa kwa neema na huruma ya Mungu. Umri wa kuwajibika ni imani kwamba Mungu anaokoa wale wote wanaokufa bila kuwa na uwezo wa kufanya uamuzi kwa au dhidi ya Kristo. Umri wa miaka kumi na tatu kwa kawaida umependekezwa kuwa umri wa kuwajibika, kwa kuzingatia desturi ya Wayahudi kwamba mtoto anakuwa mtu mzima na umri wa miaka 13.
