It should not be of huge import whether we are talking initial or not IMO.

Standard Pentecostal doctrine (both trinity and oneness) is that speaking with tongues is "the initial physical evidence" of the (HGB) Holy Ghost Baptism. In the Book of Acts there are several instances where people who have been saved or converted receive a post salvation empowering experience that we call the Holy Ghost Baptism, and when that experience is received it is often accompanied with or followed by "speaking with tongues and/or prophecy." The HGB is not for sinners to bring them to salvation but is for those who are already born again to empower them for service.
