Well, of course it's important, regarding your statements on the fruits of faith, you know Buddhists may take exception.
Or, adherents to other beliefs.

I don't think it is the fruits of Christianity which equate to it's dogma, or the essential tenets of the faith. Which is what I was asking about.
How would one identify the genuine article from errancy, or heresy?

I see what you mean, i'm just not sure its possible to clearly do that, because i think it is at the spiritual level. I think that's where things really happen and it's the spirit that counts
Like how the false toronto blessing spirit appears in some churches which I have seen personally. That to me is total heresy yet the church was pretty much biblically sound in doctrine on paper
that experience is why i think the way i do
there is a set of traditional beliefs that i agree are normally essential tenants its just i dont know if they are really able to tell the full story without looking at the fruits as well... but if we had perfect spiritual sight it would be pretty easy thing to do!
