[Pilgrum]

Great question! I look forward to the responses. A couple quick comments. First, not [U]everyone[U] that gives their life to the Lord immediately commences to speak in tongues. I would venture to say that most don't and those that do speak in tongues do so at some later future time. Second, people have varied experiences while praying and seeking God that are not common among everybody. Experiences such as visions, overwhelming joy and or peace, feelings of being physically touched, goose bumps, electricity passing though the body, falling out, laughter, crying, etc. Yet no one claims that any of these experiences must be experienced in order to know that one has been saved, or justified, or sanctified, or any other fied.
