A pastor in California was giving an invitation at the end of his Sunday morning message when a 5 yr old boy, sensing the invitation of the Holy Spirit came down the aisle.
Not knowing if the boy was old enough to understand
salvation, the pastor took him to his office & began to ask some
theological questions.
The more he questioned, the more confused the boy became.
Finally, in exasperation, the little fellow stopped & innocently pleaded:
“Pastor Patterson, in your message this morning you said
that if I would come & ask Jesus to save me - He would! Now, did you really
mean that or not?”
The pastor said, “I didn’t ask him any more questions after
that.” He helped the boy to respond to God’s invitation by inviting Jesus
Christ to be his Savior.

God like a child will never enter it.” – Lord Jesus. (Mk 10:15 GNT)

properly instructed, can as truly believe and be regenerated as an adult.”
- Charles Spurgeon.
