No, not necessarily. We're either children of God or children of the devil. Depends on Christian interpretations and what passages matter more to the Christian.
I personally have never even heard of this before. This is the first time I'm seeing it. Not saying there aren't Christians out there who believe some humans are children of the Devil, but this is definitely not mainstream Christianity.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
