No they do not. There is what is known as The Gift of Tongues and also The Interpretation of Tongues. The Gift of Tongues is when a person is given the gift from God to be able to speak in a language of the people he is addressing, when he has never spoken that language before. The Interpretation of Tongues is when a person speaks in his own language but is understood by those who do not speak that language.
Those religions who claim to be able to speak in tongues only speak gibberish which is not understood be anyone, not even the speaker or God.

∙ 16y agoThere is no one Protestant church in the way that there is one Catholic church. Instead there are many denominations, such as Episcopalian, Methodist, Congregational, Baptist, Lutheran, and Pentecostal (and many more). Some denominations do believe in speaking in tongues.

∙ 13y agoNo, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in modern day miraculous "gifts of the spirit" such as the "speaking in tongues" seen in many of the charasmatic evangelical churches today. They believe such "gifts" ended with the last of the apostles in the first century and that what is seen in churches modern day churches bears little resemblance to the biblical events.

∙ 9y agoIt can vary from church to church (Baptist churches are autonomous) but generally NO. Or to be more accurate... the babbling that is part of the Pentecostal and Charismatic faiths are not generally viewed by Baptists as being the glossalalia mentioned in The Bible. Part of this is that the term in the Bible and its description in Acts (particularly) appears to describe speaking in different languages that were intelligible by people who already knew those languages. As such, the phenomenon may be viewed different ways by typical Baptists:
1. Some see it as being from the Devil. This is probably not a very common one.
2. Some see it as a physiological/psychological phenomenon. The fact that similar phenomenon are found in a wide number of religions seems to support this.
3. Some see it as from God but not having theological import. As such, it would be a gift of God (like healing, or administration, or wisdom, and others) but like other gifts is no measure of the quality of one's relationship with God.
4. Some would reject the "speaking in tongues" as it is today labelled, but may believe in "private prayer language." This seems to be based on Romans 8 where it describes the Spirit of God guiding our prayers in groans that cannot be uttered.
There are other interpretations... but this is a start.
