Hi William,
Are you quite sure that 18 year-olds were not under the jurisdiction of their parents in the 1st Century Roman Empire? But if it makes things easier, change his age to 17. And what about the rest of the family?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking in the second part of your post.
I wrote: '...Only those who know the Lord are in the New Covenant.'

You then wrote: 'So please list who is in this Covenant?'

Er.....Only those who know the Lord. He may well have some special arrangements for those dying as infants, or imbeciles; indeed, I'm sure He has ('Will not the Judge of all the Earth do right?'). But for the rest of us, 'unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God' (John 3:5).

Blessings,
Steve
