Ain't that the truth. There are millions who think they are Christians, but are actually enemies of God, who will wake up in the fires of Hell, and say, didn't we do many good works in your name?

And I trust you notice what they are appealing to for their salvation?

Their WORKS.

And those works they are appealing to are the very ones that today the Emergent church and the Pentecostals claim are signs of a believer: casting out demons, prophesying, and miracles.

But obviously, those are not the signs of a believer. The FRUIT of the Spirit is not works, but the Christ like character being developed in us.

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

The gifts can be imitated by the enemy. He cannot imitate the character of Christs in someone's life.

False piety is very hard to discern, unless the Spirit does so as a gift of the Spirit. Look at the sexual degenerate priests and pastors. Too many are duped by such frauds.

[Mark17]

And I trust you notice what they are appealing to for their salvation?

Their WORKS.

Yes, they did. Pseudo Christians. Probably people who were in works based religions. I used to be in one of those religions, but I gave it up. 😀 I think you know which one I was in. 😁
