Different people experence the power of the Holy Spirit in different ways. This was pointed out by Saint Paul in 1Corinthians 12:27-31, where he mentions various spiritual gifts such as the ability to heal, or to prophesy, or to speak in tongues. These are just different ways in which the Holy Spirit reveals its presence within someone. As Paul suggests, one gift of the spirit is no better or no worse than another gift of the spirit.
However, different churches have different traditions about how people should behave during worship services. In some churches worshippers try to remain quiet so as not to disturb or distract the people around them. But in other churches the worshippers feel less restraint, and urged by the power of the spirit, some of them may begin to speak in tongues.
Before Jesus ascended to Heaven, he told his original followers that they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. And modern Christians can be baptized in the same way. The gift of tongues is just one of the powers that the spirit may give them.
And just because someone doesn't speak in tongues, that doesn't mean that he or she isn't filled with the spirit. Anyone who believes in Jesus and accepts him as their savior can obtain salvation, regardles of whether the person speaks in tongues.
AnswerPeople get baptised by the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit wants when you get baptised so not all Christians can speak in tongues this doesnt mean they wont in the future. Also some people like to speak in tongues in the privacy of their own house so they save it for their house.

Is speaking in tongues necessary for salvation?
No definately not. We are saved by grace through faith ALONE. No works can save us. Now there are some who would have you believe that you need to speak in "tongues" to show that you have the Holy Spirit in you. But Paul clearly teaches that there are DIFFERENT gifts of the Spirit. Not every saved Christian will speak in tongues. And TRUE Bible tongues is not this gibberish that is spoken in churches today, but rather the sudden ability to speak in another language of the world in order to spread the gospel to other nations.
Does the church of God believe that speaking in tongues is a sign of the holy spirit baptism?
I do not know the answer to your question, but I can say something about the speaking in tongues. God blesses men to be able to speak in the language of the people they are addressing, even though they have never spoken that language before. He will also bless a people to understand what a person is saying even when he speaks in his own tongue. The one is the Gift of Tongues and the other is the gift of Interpretation of tongues. Speak not in the gift of tongues witout understanding it, or without interpretation.

To be honest i am scared when i see things like that. I rarely go to churches because of that. But a fact in the Bible. THOU SHALL NOT SPEAK TONGUES IN CHURCH WITHOUT A REAL INTERPRETER! Throughout all of 1 Corinthians it is said. 14:2,7,9,11,15,27,28,33. By the way in verse 11 it says Barbarian. This is not good. You'll be amazed of what is said. I love this type of things in the Bible.
