Do you believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues?

A pentecostal believer would answer Yes and furthermore, it is the evidence of one being filled with the holy spirit. So, it is not unusual to walk into a Pentecostal-type church during worship and hear many believers speaking in a strange language.
The only problem with such a view is that many christians who believe they are speaking in tongues are speaking a completely made-up language. If you look at the first real reference to speaking in tongues, it was the disciples on the day of pentecost, but the key thing was that there were people from other nationalities who could understand them. It seems then that the purpose of such language, originally was to communicate the gospel to those who spoke a language other than the common one of the day. Paul, when elaborating on this topic, recommends that if a believer is to speak in tongues, it is to be done with another present who can translate what is said, to avoid confusion.
However, there are other references in The Bible where speaking in tongues is discussed more, in terms of spiritual edification. Perhaps another person could elaborate on this aspect.

∙ 8y agoNo. In Acts 2:4-11, after the disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost, they began speaking in the tongues (a.k.a. the languages) of the multitude. That meant that not only could the Parthians and the Medes understand what was being said, in their own language, but so could people from Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontius , and Asia, and a long list of people from various other countries. The point being, that what we hear as "tongues" in our day and age, is nothing but gibberish; spoken without anyone to interpret it. The Bible forbids or strongly warns against this practice.

∙ 8y agoNo. A good reason for disbelieving this is to ask in what way speaking in tongues makes anyone a nobler, more moral person or helps that person worship God more fully. Another good reason is to ask exactly what the person was saying when speaking in tongues. If no independent onlooker can provide a translation that is meaningful and real, then speaking in tongues is mere babbling. Surely something like this is too trivial for the Holy Ghost.

Why does the Apostolic church believe in speaking in tongues before going to heaven?
Acts 2:38 states that a person needs to repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus, and then they will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Receiving the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in tongues. Once a person receives the Holy Ghost, then they will go to heaven.
How is Apostolic different from the Church of God in Christ?
The forms of worship between the Apostolic and COGIC are similar. The Apostolics believe in baptism in the name of Jesus only (not Father, Son, Holy Ghost like COGIC), and believe the evidence of infilling of the Holy Ghost is only by speaking in tongues (different than COGIC).

What's the difference between Evangelicals and Pentecostals?
Pentecostals are a branch of evangelical Christianity that believe that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost... Evangelical Christians do not all believe this, because that branch of Christianity can include anything from Baptist to Lutheran. Being evangelical simply means wanting to share the gospel of Jesus to the world.
What evidences of baptism in the holy spirit exprience follow after conversion?
the evidence is speaking in other tongues. scripture proof Isa_28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Mar_16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Act_2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Act_10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Act_19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 1Co_14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 1Co_14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 1Co_14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 1Co_14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Is speaking in tongues the only way to be holy ghost filled?
Please get it clear speaking in tongues does not at all mean you are spirit filled. As the bible also says tongues shall cease. it depends who you ask...some will teach that you are not holy ghost filled unless you have spoken in tongues at least once..as the initial evidence...others will say you need to speak in tongues on a regular basis...others will tell you that speaking in tongues is a false doctrine.......my personal belief is the first one i mentioned
What is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost?
'Ghost' is a poor translation and 'Spirit' is a better one.A true Christian will have an 'outward' change as the old self is buried and the new self is born as that person is now 'begotten' in the God Family. The Holy Spirit will guide that individual to follow Jesus Christ - the perfect example for all mankind.Answer :It has become increasingly common for Christians to suppose that the full gospel includes the baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. Thus the question is: Is speaking in tongues the evidence of being baptised by the Holy Spirit? First, as the apostle Paul makes plain, believers are "all baptized by one Spirit into one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13), yet not all who believe speak in tongues (vv 10, 30). Thus tongues may be a manifestation of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but tongues cannot be the manifestation.Furthermore, even if one does speak in tongues it is not a guarantee that they have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. For as Paul put it, " Though I speak in tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling symbol (1 Corinthians 13:1).Finally, as Scripture makes clear, the normative sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is not speaking in tongues but the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord, repentance from sin, and obedience to God (Romans 8:1-17, 1 John 4:12-16).
Physical evidence of the holy ghost?

How often is the gift of tongues mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles?
The answer to your question needs qualifying: There is significant debate among Christians as to whether the speaking in tongues, or glossalalia, as recorded in the fifth book of the New Testament is the initial indicator (or outward sign) of the baptism of the Holy Spirit or the operation of one of the nine spiritual gifts of the Spirit, or is the gift of tongues as referred to in 1 Corinthians 12:10. Other sects believe that the tongues spoken in the Acts of the Apostles is not a gift at all but the use of a learned foreign language for the purpose of evangelization. The tenets of some Christian sects, i.e. Pentecostals, state that the speaking in tongues recorded in the Acts of the Apostles is the initial sign of the outpouring, or baptism, of the Holy Ghost. They would state that the gift of tongues (in 1 Corinthians 12-14) is not mentioned here because of the lack of interpretation of the tongues, and quantity of participants uttering the tongues (more than two or three). Non-Pentecostal Christian faiths believe that it is not the initial sign of the Holy Spirit, and that it is the gift of tongues being recorded as was stated in 1 Corinthians 12:10. Some religions believe that these instances of speaking in tongues were single, or multiple, cases of people speaking foreign languages where the speakers and hearers of the tongues spoke and understood the languages being spoken for the express purpose of evangelizing non-believers. Nonetheless, speaking in tongues is recorded three times in the book of Acts of the Apostles: In chapter two, verses three through four, chapter ten, verse 46, and chapter 19 verse six.
Do mormons believe in getting the holy ghost and speaking in touges?
Yes, but not in the way that many Pentecostal and Protestant churches do. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in the Bible, which says that speaking in tongues is one of the gifts or manifestations of the Spirit of God. (See 1 Corinthians 12:10) Also, one of their articles of faith states "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophesy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth." Mormons believe that the gift of tongues comes when one needs to bear witness of Christ to someone who does not speak the same language. Stories of the gift of tongues are often told by Mormon missionaries who are sent to places where they are unfamiliar with the language, but somehow the people they are teaching still understand them - much like the story found in Acts 2. Joseph Smith said, "The ultimate design of the gift of tongues is to speak to foreigners."
