Amanah, here is the twist your going to run into here on the forum. People like me and you and kclee and others believe that speaking in tongues is "evidence" of one being baptized in the Spirit. As you see from the statements quoted above, some will twist that around to make it look like you believe that the "speaking in tongues" is "salvational", when its not, its the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

While some here, such as Delta, will legitimatly debate whether tongues is evidence or not, others will try to box you in and brand you with "tongues = salvation". Don't fall for it.

That's a fine line, IMO, Scotty.

If you have NOT the spirit of Christ, you are none of His. (Romans 8:9)

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: (John 16:13)

It looks like a salvational issue to me. Perhaps I don't understand what you are saying. Tongues is the initial evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost. I don't see how we are able to separate the two. Actually, I've never understood that.

I believe that you cannot be saved without the Word and without His Spirit. The Spirit leads and guides, the Word sets you free.

On another note, the "second blessing" view is totally bogus and has no scripture to support it.
