Depends really on how rediculous your questions on Yahoo answers are.
I think you most certainly qualify to be a "Child of God"

You just have to have enough faith to believe in Christ's sacrifice for you and accept that to be consdiered a child of God. If you feel like your faith is weak -spend time in the Bible and pray to God for a stronger faith

Adoption into the Family of God does not require one to have HUGE faith. Most start off with just a little, enough to allow Jesus to cover us... after that, it grows. It might never grow to be as strong as someone elses but it will grow as long as you allow it to.

Faith has nothing to do with it. You certainly should have faith, but just by being created in Gods image....you are a child of God. You ARE his child. Period.

It's not your faith that matters. Faith is a gift from God. "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith OF Christ, and not by works of the law." (Galatians 2:16). The faith that you have in Christ is the faith OF Christ which was given to you as a gift by God Himself. God will never diminish that gift or take it away. By the very nature of your question, I believe that you are a Child of God, and that will never be taken from you.

I don't know what religion that you are referring to, however, a child of God is someone who has been born again through belief in Jesus Chirst. Therefore being born again signifies that you're a new person and a child of God, in a spiritual way.

to be considered a child of God, you must have accepted Jesus (Yeshua) as your personal Savior. Faith is a large part of it, though, so what you are defining as faith is up to you. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen."

Faith has nothing to do with it. Everyone is a child of God. You either accept God or shun him. It is up to you.

Jesus said that your faith only has to be the size of a mustard seed and you can move mountains.
You know how small a mustard seed is? I seen one and it's very, very small.
The faith you have may be small, but if it's the power of God that you believe in - mountains can be moved (nothing is too hard for Him).

You can't, it's impossible -- because there is no evidence of any kind that there *is* a god, or that he has any "children."
So give up trying, start thinking logically and rationally, and make something useful out of your life instead of wasting it worrying about faith in a made-up fairy tale. The world will be a better place if you do so.
Peace.

If you believe in God, you automatically consider yourself a child of God.
You don't need faith for that.......even a beggar on the street is a child of God, even if there is no faith in him.
