As it is written;

They were doing the right kinds of works; but the problem with them was that they were practicing iniquity on the side (see Matthew 7:23).

“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit just like a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.”

Does that help?

Still doesn't cut it.

For the doing of miracles, casting out demons, and doing wonderful works in the name of Jesus isn't fruit.

Psa 111:10**The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
