PO if tongues are a part of salvation was essentially no one saved in your opinion from the 2nd (or 3rd) century through the 19th?

Jason, I believe that is what the Great White Throne of Judgment is for.
Those that are born again, as Peter told us in
Acts 2:38, will rise at The First Resurrection. All others, will come up at the GWT.

Those that BELIEVE in Jesus, are BELIEVERS. But until they receive the Holy Ghost, they are not 'born again.' The Spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost does not DWELL in them.
The Samatitians were Believers, until Peter prayed for them.
The Ephesians in
Acts 19, were Believers, until Paul baptized them in Jesus name and they received the Holy Ghost.
I believe that we have a nation of Believers, that need to be baptized in Jesus name and receive the Holy Ghost. And it is a shame that we have thousands of Pentecostal and Apostolic Churches, that are majoring on the minor things, like hair and clothing. Building Temples with peoples tithes. And living like Kings over a little Kingdom or if not dictators, then running their church as a business and a movie theater. I mean by that performers, usually paid performers on stage, while the saints become spectators.
It is my opinion that God is leaving the churches, but is stirring up individuals.
