I believe tongues is the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, as I said, I'm not the ACN spokesman, and I gave a link to the website...However, evey "one-stepper" I know believes that tongues is the "initial evidence" of the Holy Ghost.
It is my understanding that the debate is not whether speaking in tongues is evidence of the Holy Ghost...the debate is whether or not you are saved before you have spoken in tongues.
Every Apostolic I know believes you should repent, be baptized in Jesus name, and recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost....so, in my opinion, the argument becomes a moot point...thats why there was a fundamental doctrine in the UPC...it wasn't suppose to matter if you believe that salvation took place at repentance, or at baptism, or at the infilling of the HG with evidence of speaking in other tongues....as long as you believe, preach, and practice all three,
Acts 2:38, you fall within the bounds of Apostolic doctrine.
