You prove that you are a genuine child of God holding firmly to the word of life in faith by how you act..
What you said, seems like its right, but its really just the novice's concept that is not a mature understanding.
See, any babe in Christ, runs around thinking....>"By their fruit i can tell if they are real"...>"so, let me be a fruit inspector, and then i'll know the real believers, as it'll be those who are doing all those good works, and always talk about love and getting along".
So, here is the reality Check, Reader.
1. Hell received, just today, a brand new crop of "do gooders" who were church members, taught Sunday school, gave to the poor, voted for Trump, or Biden.... and hated socialism or love it.. They also, talked about the bible a lot, and sometimes argued that you could "lose your salvation".
They had a lot of Fruit. They never missed a Sunday.. and their Children also never missed a Sunday.
So why are these do-gooders, who are loaded with "fruit"....all the works, all the self effort, not in heaven Today?
Because Jesus said...."you must be Born AGAIN".
So, if we look at their life, we see FRUIT...we see DEEDS....we see, = APPEARANCE.
Well, The Devil comes as "an angel of LIGHT"....and his ministers as """"ministers of RIGHTEOUSNESS"""">.
What does that mean?
It means that the Devil and his group are fruit bearing fanatics. They will bear so much fruit..
And that is because you are looking for it, and so, they know you are.....so, they will deceive you with their
FAKE FRUIT, if you are a babe in your understanding, regarding how to SEE a heretic.
