I believe that you will speak in tongues when you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. However, I don't believe that it "saves" you.

So Sherri, are you saying all of our good Luthern, Presbyterian friends who exhibit Christ are not filled with His Spirit because they haven't spoken in an unknown tongue? I know some Presbyterians who put most Pentecostals to shame.

6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

I love my Episcopalian friends. I also know that when i look at all they do coupled with their traits and temperament, there is nothing there that can't be a learned behavior.

Acts 19
1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

7And all the men were about twelve.

8And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
But none demonstrate this!!!

16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


No gifts of healing with the laying on of hands.

So, go ahead and drink the strychnine and handle the rattlesnakes while your at it. If you really believe it, then do it all.
