(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

If the human mind has stopped communing with the Holy Spirit, Christ seems far away and unreal, and divine revelation can eventually degrade to dead form, ritual, theology, theory, and rationalization. The theory can even be correct in every way and yet without divine life. It seems a Christian can even be performing miracles in Jesus’ name without knowing Him.

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’” ~ Matthew 7:22-23 Berean Study Bible
