I've heard (and read) these terms often, what do they mean? To whom do they refer? What is the difference?

Son of God almost always = Jesus, Son of Man = Jesus (because He was born of Mary even though He was God), Children of God = Believers.

Son of God refers to Jesus Christ because He was begotten of God the Father through Mary.
Son of Man refers to Jesus Christ's humanity by virtue of His birth as a human.
Children of God refers to those who by accepting God's sovereignty and grace become His followers.

Son/Children of God refers to all people. Thus Jesus can tell the people they are "gods".
Son of Man - especially in Mark, is Jesus own title. He spent much of his ministry trying to explain it to his disciples and the people.
As Son of Man - Jesus could inherit/accept the curse of Man/Humanity. Only the Son of Man could do such.

God communicates with humanity on a level we can comprehend. this changes from age to age. These terms are used to refer to different aspects of the one and only God. As the colors of the rainbow are contained within sunlight so to are we all contained within the light of Gods unconditional love within our own hearts. in the end we will merge back from whence we came as a raindrop merges into the sea. "God dwells within you as you". These names are like ,raindrop, tide, wave, whitecaps, rivers,lakes or streams, they are all but water.

Genesis 1:28 states be fruitful and multiply to be fruitful signifies to transmute and sublimate the sexual energy in order to grow spiritually the word multiply refers to the procreation of the species...there are 2 types of children mentioned in the bible.The CHILDREN OF GOD and THE CHILDREN OF MAN
CHILDREN OF GOD:those who are the outcome of chastity and love with practice of sexuality without pleasure of flesh and evil desire without spilling of semen or orgasm...
CHILDREN OF MAN:Those who are the outcome of passionate pleasure by spilling of semen check leviticus 15:16 if any man has an emission of semen he is UNCLEAN...WE NEED TO ENGENDER CHILDREN OF GOD AND STRUGGLE FOR THERE SPIRITUAL GROWTH
