Look at the fruit!....This is an answer that is given frequently by those who try to defend the mountain of doctrinal error within the charismatic/ecumenical movement. Look at the fruit,” they say. What they fail to mention is that a fruit of the Spirit is TRUTH! He is the Spirit of Truth. And in Ephesians 5:9 we are told without question that the fruit of the Spirit is truth. It is possible to counterfeit a certain kind of personality. It is possible to appear to be gentle and loving and kind. Some who appear to be very gentle and loving and Spirit-filled, can become awfully angry and lose control of themselves when the subject of separation comes up! And there are Buddhists and Hindus and atheists who demonstrate what some would call the fruit of the Spirit in their gentle personalities and daily dealings with men. Consider how many Christians today think the Hindu Mahatma Gandhi was a true saint of God. The Buddhist god-king, the Dalai Lama, appears to have the fruit of the spirit in his personality and dealings with men, but these are lost followers of heathen religions and certainly they do not have the Holy Spirit. wayoflife.org/database/strangethingsinneworleans.html
