Amen! I am convinced most of the people I know are of this ilk. They have no fruit of the Spirit even though they have been in church gatherings all their lives and I am 70 years old, they are older than I. Their children have been raised with and are comfortable with this cultural Christianity.
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.’"
Fruit of the Spirit: All born-again believers must have this fruit.
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."
Most of the people I speak to about God claim to be Christians and are embarrassed at the mention of the name of Jesus Christ.
