Some will conclude that there is nothing there, others like my son in law have had a profound change in their thinking and attitudes - much for the better.
So, in other words, spiritual fruits are not a way to determine god's effect on one's life, as both positive and negative results are to be expected. Why did you even bring it up at all?
Quote:Perhaps they believed amiss,
"Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:2
I will not engage with the No True Christian fallacy. If that's all you have, then you have nothing.
Quote:It's hardly hypocritical to have a debate in which you disagree with someone. It isn't wrong to be annoyed with them either.
When you appeal to supernatural entities, and then dismiss someone's refutation of your claim on the basis that they aren't being scientific enough, then that is an act of hypocrisy.
