I've been pondering this for the last few days.  I'm short on time, so I can't post the relevant passages now, but throughout the New Testament children are said to be perfect and almost sinless.  Jesus seemed to have a special love for them, more so than adults.  However, I don't recall the Bible explaining exactly when a child enters adulthood.  Are Christian children considered adults at the age Jewish children are considered "adults" (age thirteen), or does adulthood come later than that?  Or, am I taking this bit too literally?

Do you mean in terms of being able to choose/reject Christ or just adulthood in general?

The latter.
