That's just the way I see it. I cannot see infilling without tongues, personally.

That's not what I mean. I'm not talking about an initial infilling of the Spirit with the evidence of tongues but afterward, there are those who don't speak in tongues again, imo, because they don't have the gift of tongues. So if one spoke in tongues when they initially received the baptism of the Holy Spirit but never speak in tongues again, then how can they pray in the Spirit if praying in the Spirit always consists of speaking in other tongues?
I think I made that more clear.
