I don't really care when you consider a person a church member.

God calls you his when you believe and recieve the word.

When a person comes to a realizatrion that they cannot save themselves , that Christ is all sufficient savior. When they trust him fully for their salvation and forgivness of sins. when they profess this faith to others and thru Godly sorrow for their past , they repent or turn from the direction of their before sinful life.

So yes, I beleive the word is clear that they are His or in "the church" before they ever seek and recieve the gift of tongues.

You have clearly defined the GATE or door to the sheepfold, and those that enter in find the life of God, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, until the full image of Jesus is formed in them.
