Apostolic Litumus Test: Do you affirm - Yes or no?

From our rules:

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

Those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith
with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

The only thing I might have a question about is tongues being the evidence of the HG. It is an evidence but not the only one. You will receive power after the HG has come upon you. I beleive the tongue is the witness that the HG has fallen upon a person, but I can not say that the only evidence of the HG is tongues. I guess saying the initial evidence is ok with me

Gee, another meaningless poll.

I voted yes, but only cause I agreed with the majority of it. I could have just as easily voted No. Tongues as AN inital evidence I can agree with, but can not agree that it is the only evidence.

I know you're messin around ... but yeah, what's not to agree with here.

Repentance
Baptism in Jesus Name
Receiving the HG
Living a holy life

Obviously, thankfully, nothing about standards or anything, so yes, I believe it defines Apostolic.

JT, what other signs or evidence is there of the infilling of the HG?
