Even more necessary than the “concept” is the attitude, and Jesus said it was not complicated. Believe as a child.

THEN, when as an “adult” you describe what has happened, you can recognize the Christology. But even then you need to realize it is love based and NOT pride based....

The attitude is not more important that the concept. Do you not believe they go together?

Beware of the fallacy that unless you can have all of something, none of it is necessary. Feelings and attitudes will not save. Faith requires an object. The object must be true. If it is false, then faith is dangerous.

You reference children, so let me link to a great teaching on that subject: http://www.gty.org/resources/distinctives/dd05/evangelizing-children

Many a fraudulent faith has been seeded in the heart of child. We mean well, but we better be careful. I experienced this myself. I was baptized the first time when I was four. I knew the words and believed them. But I did not believe them with a saving faith. It is an entirely different thing. I am not saying children cannot be converted. I am saying they can quite easily be led into a false profession and then not know they are still lost souls.
