Galatians 5:22   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, 
gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23   Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.


Bro. Evans, I enjoyed yout post on tongues. Remember, however that it is
the
singular fruit, not fruits, of the Spirit when referring to the "evidence
of a Spirit
filled life...". One fruit, like a cluster of grapes, there are individual
grapes, yet 
they are One fruit. There is One fruit of the Spirit which has many
individual
"graces" or "attributes" that show in it.


Mercy unto you, and peace, and love,
be multiplied.-Jude 1:2
