Today many if not most who think they are "Apostolic" have been taught they will only speak in tongues one time and thats it, robbing them of all the edifying power God has for them.

While I agree with the general premise, that we should regularly pray in tongues (which I truly enjoy), I do believe that one can be "in the Spirit" and not speak in tongues. One can be "in the Spirit" while preaching, sitting quietly, while contemplating, while meditating on Scripture, while Studying Scripture, and while simply praying quietly or in their native tongue.
