Ok if tongues are so important and to consider it the proof that you have the holyghost if it was that important do you think that it would have been mentioned that Elizabeth or any of the other ones that were filled with the holyghost to note they spoke in tongues.. Talking about recieving the holyghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I see tongues as a language to communicate gods messege in Acts not the stuff that is heard in churches today I do not link the holyghost and tongues together I just think god blessed them in Acts to be able to get the messege across in a language that other could understand. So my answer is he gave us the baptism of the holyghost because he promised it to us.
