Let GOD fill you with the Holy Ghost....you WILL speak in tongues. (please notice I didn't say anything about your salvation....I don't want you to confuse doctrines again)
There is a difference between you and the group of members on AFF that don't believe tongues are "necessary" for salvation........
ALL of them HAVE spoken in tongues....
you haven't...............but you can.
Let God make it happen, bro.

I am not saying I haven't spoken in tongues but that I am not sure. The night that I was at youth camp as a child I was sick and tired of not being saved so I figured I was close enough and I said I got the Holy Ghost. No one disagreed but I can't honestly say with 100% certainty that I really spoke in tongues.
I have prayed in the altars for years and shouted and did everything that a pentecostal youth was supposed to do yet I don't ever remember speaking in another language.
This might come as a surprise to many who have known me for many years because they always though I had the Holy Ghost. I just have to be honest with myself and I can't lie anymore.
I have met many in UPC churches that don't speak in tongues and no one really says anything to them about them not being saved but at one time or another they went down to the altar and were convinced that they spoke in tongues.
