It you are right and speaking in tongues isnt for everyone then why did Jesus say in verse 17 of Mark Chapter 16 And these signs shall follow them that believe: IN my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.

He didnt say some were going to he said it for everone that believes.

Wow,
you guys are truly truly missing a great big point.
Someone said
"Speaking in Tongues is a spiritual gift from God and is absolutely still working in followers of Christ today. It is physical proof that the Holy Spirit is within you. Not everyone is blessed with this particular gift but everyone has a special gift that was meant for them."
1st I just want to break down 3 steps of the plan of Salvation.
1 Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ
2 Confess that you are a sinner and ask GOD to forgive you
3 Recieve Jesus as Lord and Saviour of you life. (This means you belong to HIM.)
Part 3 is the point when you receive the Holy Spirit because you can not receive Jesus but not receive the Holy Spirit. We agree they are one. So to say that if one does not speak in tounges the Holy Spirit is not abiding is very false.
Now this was a big issue then as it is now. That is the whole reason of this scripture that was earlier posted, yet totally ignored.
1 Corinthians 12: 28-31
28First, God chose some people to be apostles and prophets and teachers for the church. But he also chose some to work miracles or heal the sick or help others or be leaders or speak different kinds of languages. 29Not everyone is an apostle. Not everyone is a prophet. Not everyone is a teacher. Not everyone can work miracles. 30Not everyone can heal the sick. Not everyone can speak different kinds of languages. Not everyone can tell what these languages mean. 31I want you to desire the best gifts. [a] So I will show you a much better way.
Please let GOD's word speak for it self. Please do not close your mind and be unteachable because we can never know everthing about GOD.
I am not saying no one has tounges, I am saying that it is not the evidence of the Holy Spirit. So if you don't have the gift, then that is because GOD did not give it to you and that is HIS will.
Amen.


Sorry but I disagree. In John Chapter 3 we find that where Nicodemus came to Jesus to ask what he must do. Jesus answers and says that you MUST be born of the water and and the spirit to enter heaven.
Therefore baptism is essential to salvation and be born of the spirit is to recieve the Holy Ghost which is with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Acts chapter 2 says they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues. Not a few speaking in tongues, a few prophecying but ALL were speaking in tongues.

I'm was just curious, and would like to find out what everyone thinks you must do to be saved. Please give scriptural proof.

obviously pilgrim you do not believe that speaking in tongues is real. You sound as if you think it is of satan. If your right then your telling me that the men and woman (including the 12 apostles) are of satan because they spoke in other tongues as the spirit gave the utterance. (Acts 2)
