Tam says:
1 Cor-13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity,{which means LOVE} I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
THIS is why He says depart from me, because without love all our efforts mean nothing.
Whoso readeth let him understand.

"Whoso readeth let him understand."
Good advice Tam, you should adhere to it.
1Cor.13 and Mat.7 have almost nothing in common.
The one is a description of love.
The other is a warning by Jesus about false prophets. Jesus never said anything about love in Matthew 7.
The Bible says: "Study to show yourselves approved unto God, workmen that need not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
You are not rightly dividing God's word of truth. You are butchering it.
Previous to the judgment Jesus pronounced on those of whom he said: "Depart from me I never knew you," he had warned his disciples to beware of false prophets for they come to you as sheep in wolves clothing. Read from verse 20 onward. There is nothing said about love here, only discernment of false prophets, judging who is a false prophet, the fruit of a false prophet and the condemnation of the false prophet.
There is nothing about love said in this passage at all. For you to read anything that 1Cor.13 has to say into this passage in Mat.7 is what Peter says: "wresting the Scriptures to your own damnation." Those are harsh words. But the Bible warns us clearly against taking such Scripture out of context in order to make it fit your own pre-determined theology. That is again the mark of a cult--exactly what you did. Making your theology fit Scripture taken out of context.
Look carefully again:
1. Beware of false prophets:
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2. Judge them (fruit-inspectors)
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
3. Their Fruit.
Matthew 7:16-19 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
--The fruit here is doctrine. Jesus had warned of the leaven of the Pharisees. The sinful doctrine or teaching. False prophets teach false doctrine. That is the fruit.
4. Their Judgement and condemnation.
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
--The above condemnation is based on the description of the works and theology of what is happening in the Charismatic movement today.

NE UNDERSTANDS HIM, Mike; no one understands him. The conclusion ought to be: Don't speak in tongues: for no one understands him."
