If they are the same kind of tongues then tongues are most definetely not required as part of a salvation experience (
1 Corinthians 12 is clear that not all speak in tongues, whichever type it is referring to).
Further, it is my opinion that all the verses about tongues in
1 Corinthians 14 are speaking of the same type of tongues mentioned in
1 Corinthians 12 (If this is true it would mean that nothing from
1 Corinthians 14 could be used to support the tongues as initial evidence doctrine).
It is further my opinion that the tongues mentioned in Acts were the same type of tongues mentioned in
1 Corinthians 12 and 14. This is my opinion because we see no mention of another other type of tongues being practiced in the bible other than those in Acts. However, there are some good reasons for believing those two types of tongues from Acts and Corinthians are different. Tongues were not practiced in Acts decently and orderly. On every occasion more than 3 people spoke in tongues. In Acts there is no acknowledgement of an interpretor being present so the church can receive edifying. These things clearly indicate that either there was a different kind of tongues being spoken of in Acts compared to
1 Corinthians 12 and 14 or that the accounts in Acts happened before the apostles were fully able to understand that tongues should be practiced decently and orderly and only 3 people at most and with an interpretor.
