Definitely. Did the apostles teach that saints should speak in tongues?
1 Cor 14 has Paul teaching that tongues are for prayer to God, and our understanding is unfruitful. In other words, tongues are generally understood to be for all saints in the apostle's mind. Prayer in the Spirit is not just for part of the church. Even Jesus said that tongues were a sign that followed believers. So, without tongues, one is certainly not apostolic, unless one knows one should experience this and is seeking it.
But this is another departure from the issues at hand.
My thoughts on the issue, anyway.
