I think too much emphasis is placed on tongues and not enough on the Baptism of the Holy Ghost itself. When folks recieve the Holy Ghost they speak in tongues. I cannot count the times I have personally seen new people come into a Pentecostal church that know nothing about Pentecostal doctrine and recieve the Holy Ghost the first service speaking in tongues without any preconcieved ideas. it just happens everytime.
