We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
I believe that this is an important doctrine, because it teaches us something about free agency. We come into this world pure and innocent as Adam. I truely believe that children are born clean and they do not bring the burden of Adams transgression into the world with them. It is not until we are old enough to understand agency that we are accountable for our sins. When we are old enough to understand right from wrong our Heavenly Father has given us the gift to decide for ourselves. We then are also eligible to suffer the consequences of our choices. But we are only punished by God for OUR sins and not for the ones that Adam commited.
