The fig tree produces fig.

Luke 9:49-50

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
In Mark 9:38-39 the writer defines why Jesus couldn’t care if the individual was performing miracles in His name. The writer in Mark states if someone was performing miracles in Jesus, name they wouldn’t ( due to losing credibility ) speak evil against Jesus. Yet, we still have the issue from this scripture, that the individual wasn’t a follower of Jesus. So, what is actually the “belief” πιστεύσασιν found in Mark 16:17? Yet in Mark 16:16 informs the reader if they lose that “trust” they will be condemned. Hence lawlessness is not continuing in trusting in Christ’s Gospel message through faith.

Then why was it cursed down to its root because the mature tree didn’t produce figs?

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite
 

Because when Jesus was hungry the fig tree wasn't able to satisfy the need.

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite
 

This is interesting because this individual was casting out devils, when in a portion of scriptures (Mark 9:17) the disciples couldn't, because of their unbelief.
The disciples still contemplating the rebuke they just received from the Lord are indeed upset and see this man casting a devil, that they themselves couldn't.

Are they saying "follow not after us" as in, he doesn't believe in you, he doesn't know who you are. Or, he is not following you, like we are?

It could be that this same individual was part of the 72 the Lord sent out.

What was the tree of knowledge of good and evil Genesis 3:7-21? Why in Luke 13:6-17 did Jesus teach about a fig tree being threatened with destruction? Yet, the gardener pleading with the owner of garden to allow more time to produce?

Re: Chris reed joins the ministry elite
 

Could be all as you say combined. The whole issue is continuing trusting in Jesus.
Cain, and Abel were brothers who personally knew God. They both could hear God’s voice. Yet, in devotion they differed greatly. One was loving God in devotion. While the other just wanted to get his sacrifice accepted so he could get on with his life. While we all like to perceive ourselves as devoted to God. We don’t really focus on how He perceives us. Pretty sobering that He will ignore us while we are casting out demons and telling church visitors their names. All the while He is doing it because we won’t bad mouth him?

This was pretty eye-opening. I listened to the whole video. This young couple had some very interesting views on this whole situation.

Smart phone, and tablet prophets making a profit of sincere souls.
It sickens me to my soul, how these butchers, murder sweet people. People who so much want God to be real to them. That want God to speak to them through these individuals. Men and women who knowingly lie under Jesus name. All so they can make themselves rich. They already have their rewards. Yet, they don't even care that they will destroy themselves eternally. Looking (or listening) with a electronic device, the information they call out to the congregation. My prayer, is that these individuals repent, be baptized in Jesus name, and infilled with the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.

The fig tree in Luke 13 represents Jerusalem.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil symbolizes man’s free will to decide whether to follow Gods word or their own.
