His love can't surpass his word, and it's for that reason those who professed to know Him were cast away. His love and faithfullness allows you access to the supernatural but His righteouness and spoken word will bring Judgement. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Thank you for taking time to answer my question. Based upon your interpretation of this one scripture then yes in fact God is playing a cruel joke on Trinitarians. He is also placing His Spirit in a dirty vessel, just because. We both know that scripture supports scripture. I want to seek the entire counsel of God so let's look further.
Matthew 7:15-23
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not everyone 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.
22 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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus said those that work iniquity: Iniquity: (anomian) described here is defined as He who works or does iniquity, meaning a wicked impious person. (Impious: not showing respect or reverence, esp. for a god. Synonyms ungodly - godless - unholy - profane - irreligious)
What about
Mark 9:38-41
38 Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”
39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me.
40 For he who is not against us is on our side.
41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.
What say ye!
