Assuming you agree that salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit, you'd probably feel comfortable with the idea that although you can take a child to Church, you can't make them love Jesus.
I became a Christian when I was 14, and I remember a strong lead from the Holy Spirit to jump out of my seat and accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. I was bought up in a Christian home, so there was a cultural understanding, but in the end, I gave my life to Jesus without any parents or siblings alongside me.
Interestingly, I have siblings who grew up in the same home, but not all of them felt stirred towards becoming a Christian in a significant enough way for the decision to stick. I never spoke to my parents about it, but as a parent myself, I'm learning how different your children can be. I chose a life lived for Jesus, but not everyone does, and what are my wife and I supposed to do? Threaten our kids to make them want God?
You know that doesn't work.
