[Quix]

I still prefer to consider the FRUIT as the Bible instructs us to do.

The authentic has persistently in my life experience and in countless other's lives and relationshiops--brought RESURRECTION LIFE; HEALING; A MUCH CLOSER WALK WITH GOD; HOLY SPIRIT COMFORT IN GREAT TRAUMA; DIRECTION IN THE MIDST OF CONFUSION ETC. ETC. ETC.

I can't imagine satan producing such a long, long, long list of very edifying, very Scriptural, God-relationship-enhancing fruit.

I applaud the effect [RESURRECTION LIFE; HEALING; A MUCH CLOSER WALK WITH GOD; HOLY SPIRIT COMFORT IN GREAT TRAUMA; DIRECTION IN THE MIDST OF CONFUSION] even if I question the cause. I observe these same effects in yielded non-charismatic believers.
