The only reason I am not is that I know there isn't proof, and probably can't be. (I say probably, because I could imagine a scenario that would be very convincing - like someone I am 100% certain does not know any English speaking perfect English. But that would be xenoglossy, as in Acts 2, not glossolalia, which is more common today, I think.)
It's an extraordinary thing to consider: God taking over your speech and making something in a heavenly language come out. God Himself! That's one of the most astonishing things there could be! It seems to be taken pretty lightly among most pentecostals today, considering what it is claimed to be.

Well that is a rather tame response...that you erred on the side of caution. That remains to be seen. But more specifically what ETERNAL consequences does it have for either of us? If you DID have the baptism of the Holy Ghost and later rejected it and tongues and infact I think you claimed you can no longer speak in tongues...does that mean God has left you?
