I understand what you mean regarding alter calls and young Children, are they following their friends to the front? Are they going so they can get a closer look at whats happening? Or are they going to accept Christ?
Who can know the intention of their hearts, only Christ. If a young Child in his or her own heart believes in Jesus and knows right from wrong and asks him into their heart WITHOUT all the baggage that we carry as adults and to be perfectly honest Children come to Christ with a purer heart and with more trust because they haven't been tainted by the world as much as we, as adults have.
We are to become like Children, trusting, willing to learn and wanting to grow.
Mat 18:2-3
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Children are our example of Trust.
Mat 19:14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 9:37
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.


In My Saviour's name , The LORD Jesus Christ
