Those who preach being saved and justified forever by faith alone, also speak most vehemently of 'showing fruit' in their lives. Not to be saved or justified of course, but to be a witness of Jesus Christ.

The only problem is that while they are sinning with the devil again like the world again against Christ (which they certainly will be by their own doctrine), then who are they testifying of at that time?

Also, since any man sinning with the devil against God is an unsaved and unjustified child of the devil, then none of their past show fruit matters at all.

When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered.

OSAS faith alone produce show fruit only, that is only shown in the sight of men, but is dead and only for show, while sinning from the heart with the devil.

Afterall, even the worst of sinners can be neighborly, when it suits their purposes.

There is no law against them bearing the fruit of the Spirit in life, because they're not sinning with the devil.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

As you stated Rob, the fruits are what identify Jesus' disciples.
