Eventually with the right guidance. But they're getting pounded with the "good works" without any form of regeneration. And the adults are wondering whats wrong.
I was 21 before I realized I could be forgiven. I honestly thought I was hell bound and there was nothing I could do about it because I wasn't the perfect little goodie two shoes they wanted me to be. It wasn't till then that I learned the truth of the Gospel.
So I have to empathize with the kids on this one. They are either leaving legalism or there is nothing for them there.
