The Confusion of Fruit and Works

*This is an old post. I couldn’t help but bring it back. It is very hard to discern the spirits of others. You must pray and ask for help from the Lord. If things don’t add up… if what is said of a person contradicts how the person acts, then there is a mixture. Look…
