You may not speak in tongues, but are you alive in the Spirit, are you believing in the Spirit, praying God speaks by His Spirit, expectant of the Spirit, available and praying that God uses you with a gifting of the Spirit?

You seem to be saying two opposite things....You say, yes, that a person can live just as powerful and overcoming Christian life without tongues while at the same time saying that a life without the Spirit (evidently you believe that without tongues, a person has not the Spirit) and without the gifts (evidently you believe a person without tongues has not any of the gifts) is "Not yet full." You also say it is a necessity while saying a person without it can live an equally powerful and overcoming life.
Can you clear that up for me?
