Re: Fruit of The Spirit Not Enough - We Need Apost
DA, I think MB has the right idea about the author's point. It seems more like he's saying there's no emphasis on "fruit", apostolic, spiritual or otherwise, and rather a lot of talk and emphasis on the "gifts", since they're easier (presumably to put on display).

I get that... Still puzzling where he was going with "Apostolic fruit" and "revival fruit." A bit awkward.

What would "apostolic fruit" look like?

Who knows? 
I agree with MB - I think it was sort of a mocking reference to what an Apostolic would call the fruits of the spirit.
I could be wrong, though. It has happened once or twice.

I never thought of it in those terms . I like it , a response to the Gospel. I agree whole heartily .

How about an "apostolic passover" or an "apostolic ten commandments" oh wait we have those already. My bad.

Some of the old timers preached that Jesus spoke in tongues when He said:
"Talitha cumi" Mark 5:41
"Abba" Mark 14:46
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani" Matthew 27:46
I'm not sure but I think Joel Hemphill's dad was one that preached that.
