A person IS lost without the Holy Ghost. Tongues is not a "requirement" it is the INITIAL evidence.
What is ANY scriptural proof or evidence that anyone from Pentecost on received the Spirit of God and did NOT speak in other tongues?

Exactly, and this is what one-steppers seem to always make a mistake with.

That sounds as though we preach speak in tongues or be lost, when in reality we preach obey Acts 2:38 or be lost. Tongues is only evidence, not the target.

Re: Acts 2:38 Three-Step Salvation Book Coming!
If it's required to have the holy ghost to be saved and tongues is the only initial evidence then why can't it be said tongues is required?

Because saying tongues is required is like getting people to shoot for tongues. The evidence is not what we're after. It's the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. We never tell people to seek for the evidence. We seek for the Spirit. Unfortunately, shooting for tongues has crept in to a lot of people's thinking and they are seeking tongues more than the Holy Ghost and wonder why they never get it.

I was Baptized in the Spirit at a Church of God in Labelle Florida at a youth event in a small black church. The pastor invited all of us youth to come down down to the altar. We where all going to be Baptized in the Holy Ghost this night.
He never mentioned speaking in tongues. He just instructed each of us to just start praising God and surely as we started praising Him each of us started speaking in an unknown tongue.
It was such a wonderful experience that I will never forget and would not trade for any mans money.
My nearest next Spiritual experience that I have enjoyed was when the Lord used me to read the mail of another brother who was in the hospital and the Lord just started downloading this mans deepest fears and thoughts. This guy just started weeping and I started weeping. We prayed and the Holy Ghost moved in this mans room. He was at peace!
My wife and I left and asked her if that just happened! We were both just in shock.
If God can use a donkey, He can use this donkey.

Re: Acts 2:38 Three-Step Salvation Book Coming!
The 3 step designation has been around for a long time. I used to pass out a tract called "3 STEPS TO BE SAVED BY JESUS" back in the early 80's.

Re: Acts 2:38 Three-Step Salvation Book Coming!
Paul did not believe he was saved at his road to Damascus experience. He believed in Jesus. He called him "Lord". He prayed and fasted for 3 days. And yet when he met Anannias he was still in his sins and neither did he have the Holy Spirit.

Paul was not a 1 stepper?
I though he was the creator of the 1 step doctrine?
Just kidding.
anyone who missuses the writings of Paul to teach the 1 step doctrine needs to go and find other texts to use, for Paul was definitely not a 1 stepper.
1. Paul believed in the Lord Jesus
2. Paul fasted and prayed
3. Paul arose and was baptized
sounds like more than one step to me.
