I too received the holy ghost and literally started speaking in tongues with the same sort of muscle reaction that people experience when they wake up with a sudden jolt. And yes, this was at least a couple of weeks before I was baptized.

Now I did receive a very strong conviction to get baptized, but the big CHANGE in my life happened after receiving the holy spirit. I could give a list of all the things I suddenly stopped doing (or started) -often without even realizing it, but the point is that the BIG change seems to come with the infilling. Again, I felt the strong urge to get baptized but had I died in the two weeks between.....

People often get upset at hypotheticals but you still have to consider your "typical" airplane crash. On 9/11, would God have denied anyone on any of those planes who cried our to him as the planes were going down?
