So since there exists people who Jesus said were saved that have not received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues then we must conclude that Jesus was right and those people who have not received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues are saved.

Jesus also said that one of the signs that follows believers is that "they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover" but I think many of us know folks who have had hands placed on them but they have not recovered.
