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.

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.
How many languages could Apostle Paul speak?
That was the true purpose of the "tongues" gift that he had. It enabled him to speak to, and understand those to whom he went out to, to evangelize. It was a necessary an legitimate use of the gift of tongues, and is not to be confused with the nonsense of "speaking in tongues" that certain sects of Christianity believe in today. Note: there will be a 2nd legitimate time, where the true gift of speaking in tongues will reappear, but it will be during the tribulation. It will be the necessary gift imparted unto the 144,000 Jewish witness's that Christ will appear to during the tribulation who will then "using this gift of supernaturally being able to speak in and understand other tongues (languages), to preach the gospel unto all people groups throughout the whole world before the end comes. Hope that helps.

What does it mean to speak in tongues?
Speaking in tongues is supposedly evidence of the Holy Spirit, since no human can really understand what is being said.The apostle Paul was dismissive of those who claimed to speak in tongues, although he was not prepared to alienate those who claimed this ability. He indicated a preference for prophecy, since this at least might be useful. In 1 Corinthians 14:4, Paul says "Whoever speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but whoever prophesies builds up the church." He then goes on to explain what he sees as the futility of speaking in tongues, summarising this in verse 19: "but in the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, so as to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue."
Why do you pray in tongues?
Some religions believe that they have the power to speak in tongues which no one but God can understand. This is what is called Priestcraft. There are two ways which are acceptable to God and both are gifts from Him called The Gift of Tongues where a person may be gifted to be able to speak in the language of a people when he has never been able to do so before. When he has delivered his message the gift leaves him.. The other is when a message is being given in the speakes own tongue, the listeners hear him in their own language. Any other way of Speaking in Tongues is of Satan, and usually comes out of the speakers mouth as gibberish, which not even God can understand.
Do Presbyterians speak in tongues?
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.

What are the differences between Pentecostals and Mormons?
Both Pentecostals and Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) are Christian movements emphasizing direct personal experiences with God, but they have many differences in doctrine and practice. Differences include: *Pentecostals typically believe that the Bible is infallible and interpret it literally. Mormons believe the Bible was passed down and translated by men, therefore having some mistakes, and that it should be interpreted both literally and symbolically. *Mormons believe that baptism is essential for salvation, but Pentecostals do not (except Oneness Pentecostals) *Pentecostals are Trinitarian, Mormons are Non-Trinitarian (except Oneness Pentecostals) *Pentecostals believe that 'dancing in the Spirit' and speaking in unkown tongues are manifestations of the Spirit. Mormons do not believe in dancing in the Spirit and believe the speaking in tongues refers only to speaking in tongues known to those in the congregation. *Pentecostal worship services tend to be loud and active. Mormon worship services tend to be quiet and contemplative. *In worship services, Pentecostals typically have a sermon given by a pastor or church leader, Mormons typically have a handful of sermons given by members of the congregation. *Mormons believe in many things not present in most Pentecostal groups, such as salvation for the dead, eternal marriage, essential saving ordinances, scripture in addition to the Bible, Priesthood authority, and a modern prophet. *Mormons are considered a Restorationist tradition, while Pentecostals are typically considered a Protestant tradition. Similarities include: *Emphasis on having personal experiences with God *Belief in modern spiritual gifts, such as prophesy, healing, and speaking in tongues, although have different definitions for these gifts *Both believe in the idea of dispensationalism *Both believe the Holy Spirit is at work within us *Both practice baptism by immersion *Both believe we are in the 'Last Days' before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ *Both practice the Communion (Mormons call it Sacrament) *Both believe Salvation comes through Jesus Christ *Both teach their congregants to live moral, family-centered lifestyles *Both Mormons and Pentecostals tend to be quite religious, and consider their religion an active lifestyle, not a passive Sunday-only activity. *Both are quite active in sharing their beliefs with others To learn more about Pentecostals and Mormons, check out the "Related Links" below.
