That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true.''</blockquote> | | <blockquote>I believe in redemption through Jesus Christ.

| | Your children have made a decision, they have decided what is true '''for themselves'''. What is not answered? You ask me if they are Christian but I can not answer that because I do not know what they have decided, exactly. It is up to the individual to decide whether they are Christian or not, not up to me to judge whether their statements add together and make them a Christian or not.
