What is your point? Are you saying that this principle
is not true just because Jesus was specifically
teaching his disciples on how to spot false prophets?
Gal. 5:25 If you live in the spirit, let us also
walk in the spirit.
I’m shaking the dust off my sandles.
My point is that too often people take the ‘by their fruits ye shall know them out of context’ and apply it to believers when Christ was talking about discerning false prophets.
Taken out of context, yes it does not mean what you claim it means, it is twisting scripture.
Christians will behave with love and charity but Atheists and cultist also produce ‘good works’ and that doesn’t make them Christians either.
If we are to claim that all who do ‘good works’ are Christians or saved regardless of their theology, then we are back to ‘all roads lead to heaven’ and that is not biblical at all.

Would you like me to put that reference in proper context as well?
