when a 7 year old child dies without believing in Jesus will go to hell ?
Maybe not, but at which age do you lose your "protection" ?
I mean when are you responsible ? At the age of 13 or 15 ? As soon as you've heard about Jesus ?

There is so set age. Everyone is different. When you are old enough to understand the gospel and accept it, then you are held accountable. You are held responsible for the truth you know. It is the truth we know that sets us free.

Supposing an 8 year old child hears the gospel in school and also understands it but doesn't think about it afterwards and then dies, will it go to hell ? I mean there aren't many children which find to God at a young age.

In fact, most children hear the gospel at a young age and many get saved then also.

As I said, people are responsible for the truth they know. Only God knows if any particular 8-year-old has heard and understood and accepted the gospel.

When it comes out to it, only God knows for sure who belong to Him and who don't.....regardless of their age!
