Adolescents rushing to become adult have pushed the government reconsider the age of responsibility. Therefore, 21 is the age of responsibility taking account: decision making, impulse control and maturity. To begin with, the age of responsibility is defined by a persons decision making. Poor decisions at times lead teenagers to more dangerous/complicated situations.
That brings us to the question: What age is the age of accountability? In other words, what age are people held accountable for their own actions and sent to hell to pay for their sins, if they have not received Christ? There is a time in each personâs life where we are held accountable before God for our sins.
