[Theo]

Only those who are “born again” are adopted into God’s family. Not all humans are “God’s children,” at least according to Scripture. Some are “children of Satan,” according to Jesus.

But it’s nicer and less offensive to say that everyone is a child of God....

[Frwy]

I believe we enter this world as children of God. As a matter of fact, He knew us before the womb. Satan didn't. He is the only One who can breathe life into us at conception. We are His children. We are given the free will to choose Him and eternal life or the father of this world and eternal death. If we are not born again, we have chosen the second death and are condemned to hell.
