Gifts AND Fruit - Pentecostal (Galatians 5:22-23)

A Pentecostal pastor told his congregation: "I'd rather have someone with fruit and no gifts than gifts and no fruit." The Spirit gives gifts (1 Corinthians 12) AND produces fruit (Galatians 5). Both matter, but fruit is the foundation. You can prophesy without love and be "a noisy gong" (1 Corinthians 13:1). Fruit validates gifts. When someone claims anointing but lacks patience, kindness, or self-control—something's wrong. The Spirit who empowers is also the Spirit who transforms character.
