If Adam had not sinned, but only his children did, then i could believe he was different than me. We all fall the exact same way he did, by choosing to sin, this is when we become distorted and not before.

You are missing the point that is absolutely essential in the understanding of our salvation.

When Adam sinned a corrupted nature was imputed to him for his disobedience and this corrupted nature was infused into his being and and as federal head of the human race, into his seed. This is why the Scripture tells us that we, and our children are born into this world already condemned and dead in trespasses and sin.

In Christ, our righteousness is only imputed (credited and promised) to us by grace Alone, faith Alone and by the work of Christ Alone. This is why the words of God command us to repent and do battle against our own sinful flesh. To believe that, at present, righteousness is infused by baptism, or any other means, into our nature or even into the nature of our children is Roman Catholic and/or Arminian heresy and very dangerous "works" religion.
