So I would go back to proof that disciple in the strictest sense only means adult. Again, from talmidim in Hebrew you cannot argue. The disciples of the Jewish people included children, so you'd have to come up with a positive change for this. If they were circumcised, they were taught, it is plain and simple.
Further, the males 13 years old and above were allowed to read and expound Scripture in the Synagogue. How did they learn how to do that? Were they given a 6 week discipleship course prior to their 13th birthday?
They were disciples from birth. So are our children. We are to teach them all the days they live.
Disciple is not just an adult. Disciples are children. Don't believe me? Ask Timothy. And don't say it is because he made a profession, either. He was taught the Scriptures even before it was his own volition to be a disciple.
In Christ,
KC
