Not even all Christian adults are mature.

Christian teenagers are who they are. Taking Christ into your life starts the process of becoming more mature, but it isn't an instant maturity. It takes time, struggles, love, learning, and all the things that bring maturity to everyone. For Christians, Christ directs the process.

That's the only difference!

The thing is are they Christians in name only? I used to be one. Babtized from young. I grew up going to church because my mum forced me. Man, that was sad history. Then, I started going to church by myself and reading up the Bible. I went to church because I promised God that if I had the number of the girl I (used to) like, I would go to church every Sunday without fail (I was stupid and naive at that time). But then I realised I became closely bonded with God and alot of Biblical concepts that I never understood became clearer. Amen to that!

Then I found out from my sister that she had been praying for me to get to know God closer. The power of prayer! That was when I changed from a Christian in name to a Christian in Faith.

yes i do beleive that christians teens can be much more mature than non-christian teens.
the bible teaches that christians have access to many things that non-saved people do not.
if we seek greater maturity, the bible promises that we can ask anything we desire and receive it if we have faith. so yes we can have greater maturity.
maturity is linked with wisdom, god gave solomon wisdom beyond his human abilities and limits.

christians have access to higher levels than non-christians in any issue of life.
maturity does grow over time, but that is not the only way it can be grown or increased.
the bible says that the holyspirit "helpeth our infirmities"
infirmities meaning weakness in any area of our life.
we can increase any area of our life in God.
and since non-saved people are not of God, yes saved people have access to greater things, in any issue of life.

people who are not saved, are under bondagde and captivity of satan, and in all their ways, they reap death and corruption no matter how they try or strive, becuase of the law of sin in their body and because they are in chains that only Jesus can free them from.
yes i beleive and am sure that saved people have access to greater things than sinners in any issue of life.
