It occurs to me that members of one family all share a resemblance, though the siblings be quite distinct from one another, and that in every single cell of one living body the same DNA can be found, though the parts are all quite different in appearance and function!

The same is true for the Spirit - the mind of Christ (I Cor 2) - body of Christ.

That is the point of the good tree/good fruit test in Matthew 7. If we don't see all of the fruits of the Spirit in a spiritual leader, we can be sure the Spirit is not in control.

The fruits of the Spirit are named in Galatians 5, to paraphrase: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control.
