There is not but one thing wrong with the statement, that being, it is absolutely wrong. So fruit bearing must be something else. What that something is is definitely taught us in the scripture. But the deep laws of life are against it. Religious pragmatism is running wild among the orthodox.
Truth is whatever works.
If it gets results it is good. Everything is forgiven him except failure. I suppose that this type of modern religious philosophy would have written our Brother Noah off as an unsuccessful man. He preached and labored for one hundred twenty years, and only saw seven souls converted. Man would say what a failure, but God hailed him a man of great faith and a great preacher of righteousness.
