One minor question here. Can your probationary period start before you have actually sinned?

We like the detail explaining why our probationary period doesn't start at birth. Even though THIS LIFE is the time, it is only a portion of this life (and sometimes part of the next). There are those who do not have the mental capacity to be held accountable. For these rare exceptions, the probationary period never actually starts, according to current church doctrine. They must demonstrate a mental capacity equivalent to or greater than that of an eight year old child in order to be worthy of baptism. I have heard people say those are the ones Moroni referred to as 'without the law'. I've also heard people say those who have not received the law are the ones who are 'without the law'. This book makes it abundantly clear to us who is truly referenced as being 'without the law'.
