Need the HG speaking in tongues to be saved

But the all important factor is that tongues are associated with the more overspreading thought that they occurred when ENTIRE ETHNIC PEOPLES. IOW, precedent setting. In fact, what lends credence to this idea is that Acts 15 shows the apostles proving the gentiles received the Spirit because they experienced precisely what the Jews did in Acts 2, which Acts 10 says was the speaking with tongues. And for it to happen today with people who never even knew tongues was a reality nor heard of it (as I personally know people like this), it sends the message even more clearly.

Acts 10:44 NLV While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit came on all who were hearing his words. 45 The Jewish followers who had come along with Peter were surprised and wondered because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also given to the people who were not Jews. 46 They heard them speak in special sounds and give thanks to God. Then Peter said, 47 “Will anyone say that these people may not be baptized? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 He gave the word that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for some days.

Special SOUNDS??? lol
