Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits . Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down , and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

STRANGELY TONGUES IS NEVER MENTIONED AS EITHER A FRUIT, OR OF EVIDENCE THAT WE KNOW GOD AND ARE HIS DISCIPLES.

Furthermore, lets just throw out all that stuff about Abraham being justified by faith in chapter 4. While we're at it, we can cut out chapter 3:21-28, chapter 1:17, All of Romans 5, parts of 6 & 7, of course do away with that pesky Romans 10. In the end we will have the equivalent of the Thomas Jefferson [pentecostal] version of Romans. Just cut out what doesn't agree with your doctrine. Its simple.
