When you are born again, you WILL speak in tongues as the SPIRIT GIVES THE UTTERANCE!!
Deltaguitar,
In my many, many years, I have seen many, many people, both young and older, receive the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT. Without exception, they all spoke with tongues. I have seen some who got a blessing and claimed to have received the Holy Ghost.
They never seemed to thrieve/grow.They were like those that Paul spoke of in 2 Timothy 3:7 " Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth".
When a person speaks in tongues AS THE SPIRIT gives the UTTERANCE, THAT IS PROOF to the unbeliever that the SPIRIT was PRESENT! HIS PRESENCE was there! We are only deceiving ourselves in believing otherwise!
When we allow the enemy (whoever it may be) to convince us otherwise, we could be like those who had not a love for the truth, that they might be saved, who could be given over to a mind that cannot "see" or rightly comprehend the kingdom of God. It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the Living GOD!
