I saw this comment “ During a discussion with a compromising Calvinist this morning, I said, "One does not “decide” to become a Christian. Salvation is all of Sovereign Grace." He responded by saying, "Absolutely. By their fruits you will know them!"
When saying this, the man was clearly speaking of fruit as being MORALITY. In other words, he was saying that through examination of the professing Christian's life over time, we will be able to tell whether or not the decision they made to become a Christian was a true or false conversion. Again, fruit to this man is the morality and perceived holiness others will see in the individual's life.
While fruit can be morality and a changed life in Scripture, that IS NOT THE CONTEXT from which the man got the verse he quoted to me. The verse is found in Matthew 7: 16 "You will know them by their fruits." In that section of Scripture, the context for "fruits" is DOCTRINE. Jesus is saying that by the DOCTRINE false prophets teach, you will be able to identify them.
Therefore, when some gives you that verse, DO THE FOLLOWING, which is what I did with this man.
1) Ask them where that quote is found in Scripture. Odds are they will have no idea. This should be a red flag to them, but don't count on it.
2) Direct them to Matthew 7:15. Tell them to read from verse 15-20. ASK THEM to determine for themselves what the fruit spoken of in this section of Scripture is referring to. After they have thought about it, tell them to get back to you. This works great for FB. If the discussion is in person, adjust accordingly.
3) Do not be surprised if after giving these instructions to someone on FB if you don't hear back from them. The man this morning never got back to me. That is not your or my concern. We are responsible for teaching truth. The rest is up to God.”

Sounds like this is hyper grace to me.
