He introduced it at IHOP a few years ago and some of the ministers there accepted it. I think their Pastor even tho at first promoting it fell back into Evangelical error and quenched the holy fire.

I remember listening to David Pawson when I was really into the IHOP Movement. Although I believe that an Apostolic or two may have infiltrated their ranks in a manner that could affect their doctrinal leanings, neither Pawson, nor anyone at IHOP ever came close to stating that a person was not saved until they spoke in tongues.
This is a key spot where Apostolics depart from scripture. Pawson never espoused this. IHOP never came close to endorsing such a twisted view of scriptural salvation.
