As always, the FAKES will try to imitate the characteristics of God's people; so it's important that we can recognize the difference! This difference is illustrated by what Jesus said in the "Parable of the Sower" (Matthew 13, etc.), and by a "picture gallery" of several examples. Fakes may be able to look back at some point in the past and say that they "grew"; but the "growing" of a child of God is an ongoing, present-tense concept!
