Last summer my 2-year-old nephew was standing on the picnic table and called out to me "Auntie catch"  and he just ran and jumped into my arms without any doubt whatsoever in his mind that I would catch him and he would be fine.  He was right....I think that's the faith of a child.

I was new to faith not too long ago, and I found that growing in faith and knowledge concerning the things of Christ is easier to do when under the teaching of a good solid bible preaching/teaching church.  Find a good solid church and attend faithfully, listen to what is preached and line it up with what the bible says..  Read the bible, use Strong's concordance to understand the original meanings of the words.  \n\nBe careful of cults and certain denominations out there who would lead you astray (remember, adding to, or taking away from the bible...such as the book of Mormon, the apocrypha added to the Catholic bible, etc...brings wrath according to Revelations).  Do not trust in anyone or anything that goes against scriptures.  I noticed the Watchtower site being used in answers here...please be careful if you shall go there...it is Jehovah's witnesses, and there are 15 reasons according to scripture that one cannot be a Christian and also a JW.  Be careful and ALWAYS line what you read and hear with the bible...if it doesn't line up, don't follow the thing you put up by the bible.

If and I mean If you believe in God, you would have what The believers in God have and that would be "Faith". Faith is believing something to be true,even thou you havent actually seen it with your own eyes. I know God to exist but in what religion,Im not sure but with Faith I know that all will be revealed when His perfect plan has been finished.  Read Deuteronomy 32:20  ;And He said(God), I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation (froward meaning -perverse), children in whom is no faith.  Bless You Friend.

You don't need a certain level of maturity to decide to come to God, you need to decide to trust Him as a child trusts their Daddy...children always think...my daddy's the biggest, the strongest, the best, ....no hesitation....just pure trust....that's why God says to "suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven"....maturity in the Lord comes AFTER the initial step of faith, but you first must come trusting Him.........it's got everything to do with freewill!

Have faith and believe that what you prayed for is what your outcome will be.  As the scripture says, "faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen".

Math.\n\nMy child can have a sense of spirituality and God without Religion. Math is essential to be a successful in life.\n\nReligion is not the road to morals and principles. You can still teach your child right from wrong without religion. You can teach virtue and ethics. But you can not teach your child how to buy grocery, pay bills, balance a budget, pay taxes, etc without Math.\n\nMath is irreplaceable. And Spirituality can be gained without Religion.

Faith means believing without a doubt, and with no proof\n\nHope is wishful thinking (that things will get better)\n\nLove is being willing to do anything for the people you love (partner, children, siblings, parents, friends)

That is an interesting question dannythegr8, and you got me thinking.\n\nLet's start here...\nEphesians 2:8\nFor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.\n\nJesus told the parable of the mustard seed, though it is the smallest of all seeds, if you have that much faith, you could move a mountain. So really, faith can be just a speck, but God will honor it. If you have zero faith, you will not pray at all. If you have a speck of faith, you can pray like the man who's son was possessed.\n\nMark 9:24\nImmediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”\n\nAnd God will meet you where you are at.

No Gods\nOnce, flipping through a book on child psychology, I came across a chapter about adolescent rebellion. It suggested that in the first phase of a child's youthful rebellion against her parents, she may attempt to distinguish herself from them by accusing them of not living up to their own values. For example, if they taught her that kindness and consideration are important, she will accuse them of not being compassionate enough. In this case the child has not yet defined herself or her own values; she still accepts the values and ideas that her parents passed on to her, and she is only able to assert her identity inside of that framework. It is only later, when she questions the very beliefs and morals that were presented to her as gospel, that she can become a free-standing individual. \n\nI often think that we have not gotten beyond that first stage of rebellion. We criticize the actions of those in the mainstream and the effects of their society upon people and animals, we attack the ignorance and cruelty of their system, but we rarely stop to question the nature of what we all accept as "morality." Could it be that this "morality," by which we think we can judge their actions, is itself something that should be criticized? When we claim that the exploitation of animals is "morally wrong," what does that mean? Are we perhaps just accepting their values and turning these values against them, rather than creating moral standards of our own? Maybe right now you're saying to yourself "what do you mean, create moral standards of our own? Something is either morally right or it isn't-morality isn't something you can make up, it's not a matter of mere opinion." Right there, you're accepting one of the most basic tenets of the society that raised you: that right and wrong are not individual valuations, but fundamental laws of the world. This idea, a holdover from a deceased Christianity, is at the center of our civilization. If you are going to question the establishment, you should question it first! There is no such thing as good or evil. There is no universal right or wrong. There is only you... and the values you choose for yourself. \n\nWHERE DOES THE IDEA OF "MORAL LAW" COME FROM? \n\nOnce upon a time, almost everyone believed in the existence of God. This God ruled over the world, He had absolute power over everything in it; and He had set down laws which all human beings had to obey. If they did not, they would suffer the most terrible of punishments at His hands. Naturally, most people obeyed the laws as well as they could, their fear of eternal suffering being stronger than their desire for anything forbidden. Because everyone lived according to the same laws, they could agree upon what "morality" was: it was the set of values decreed by God's laws. Thus, good and evil, right and wrong, were decided by the authority of God, which everyone accepted out of fear. One day, people began to wake up and realize that there was no such thing as God after all. There was no scientific evidence to demonstrate his existence, and few people could see any point in having faith in the irrational any longer. God pretty much disappeared from the world; nobody feared him or his punishments anymore. But a strange thing happened. Though these people had the courage to question God's existence, and even deny it to the ones who still believed in it, they didn't dare to question the morality that His laws had mandated. Perhaps it just didn't occur to them; everyone had been raised to hold the same beliefs about what was moral, and had come to speak about right and wrong in the same way, so maybe they just assumed it was obvious what was good and what was evil whether God was there to enforce it or not. Or perhaps people had become to used to living under these laws that they were afraid to even consider the possibility that the laws didn&#

Proverbs 20:11 "Even a Child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right." \n\nPsalms 58:3-5 "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. \n\nRom 3.23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"\n\nDeuteronomy 1.39 (God said:) "Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it."\n\nProtestants believe the age of accountability usually begins at age seven, even though it is not in Scripture.\n\nJewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13.\nThis is the most common age given for the age of accountability. A child has passed the age of accountability once he or she is capable of making a faith decision for or against Christ.\n\n"The Bible tells us that even if an infant or child has not committed personal sin, all people including infants and children are guilty before God because of inherited and imputed sin. Inherited sin is that which is passed on from our parents. In Psalm 51:5, David wrote, "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me." David recognized that even at conception, he was a sinner. The very sad fact that infants sometimes die demonstrates that even infants are impacted by Adam’s sin, since physical and spiritual death were the results of Adam's original sin."\n\nThe Age of Accountability as Defined by God\n\nGod's Bible says children are not fully capable of distinguishing between good and evil (Deu 1.39, Isa 7.16). \n\nNumbers 14.29 and Deuteronomy 1.39 establish the precedent that God will NOT hold children responsible when He brings judgment for sin. \n\nWhat is a "child?" By inference from Numbers 14.29, a "child" is a person who is aged 19 or younger. \n\nOne could conclude: "Only those persons age 20 and older are held accountable for sin. "

Romans 12:3 says that God has given everyone a "measure of faith," implying that it is an equal amount of faith given to each person.  You and I both have faith, but it is placed in different things.  An example; when you go to start your car, do you perform a complete PMCS (preventive maintenace check and service) before you start it each time?  Of course not!  You have faith it will start.  That's not blind faith because you know (probably) how well the car is maintained.  When I believe in God, it isn't blind faith either.  I know what He's done to take care of me.  Faith merely acknowleges that.

I say don't tell them.  Let them believe as long as they want.  If they stop believing, let them tell you there is no tooth fairy.  Don't stunt a child's imagination and faith by telling him or her what they should or should not believe in.

Faith sweetie. Faith, read His word. Once you start to understand, and believe that God gave His ONLY son so that we would be saved...then look around you, and also start to believe that everything you see that is bad that you are not apart of God has set you apart and keeping watch, but know that it is just by His grace that we saved. It is nothing that we have done to deserve His love, because we have all sinned, He simply loves us.
