How many people do you know that claim to receive the Holy Spirit actually have their lives transformed and produce this fruit? Some do, but many don't.
BTW, I will answer your other question in a minute. 24 is more interesting...lol

Fruit takes time to produce. There was no question in Simon's mind that the Samaritans he saw were receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts 8. What did Simon see that provoked him to offer money for it? Did he see "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, temperance, goodness, kindness coming from those who were receiving the Spirit?"
