Summarizing Spiritual Fruit
Topic : -1. is given to all believers;
2. produces spiritual character;
3. is singular (fruit is singular, meaning one’s character is a unit);
4. is permanent (1 Cor. 13:8-10); and
5. grows internally.
To summarize spiritual gifts, note the contrast to the previous five points.
Spiritual gifts:
1. are given to specific believers;
2. produce spiritual service;
3. are plural (Flynn lists nineteen, Wagner, twenty-seven);
4. will cease; and
5. operate externally.
