Where is That Spiritual Connection?

It is getting harder and harder to know who is saved and who is not because so many people claiming Christianity have no fruit but follow the rules to be accepted but have never been born again.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
God tells us not to pull up the tares in the church because we might be pulling up the wheat. God said let them grow together; in the end, He will sort it all out.
Also, we read in Matthew 7:21-23 that many, probably most, who say they are Christians will hear the terrible words when they get to heaven; "I NEVER knew you."
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Those who are born again do the work but through the Holy Spirit and not in their own flesh.
Have you noticed that there are many people who say they are Christians, who even attend church every week faithfully but you sense no deep connection with them in the Spirit? I am noticing this more and more as time marches toward the end times apostasy.
When we love Christ and others have the Holy Spirit in them we can sense that connection that is Spiritual and not just words.
