Paul had much to say about tongues, most of which has been of grossly mis-interpretation. The Greek word "glossa" is interpretid "tongues" in the New Testament as has the Hebrew word "lashown" in the old and simply means language. The need for speaking in another language or tongue was most important for missionary work and for Jews comming to Jerusalem from other countries, though God is the ultimate and consumate interpreter. The importance or lack of Paul addressed clearly in the fourteenth chapter of first Corinthians. Following are a few verses: 1Cor 14:5, 6, 22, 23, 27 and 28. Instructions are here that dictate that tongues, however one may view them, are not to employed unless an interpreter is present. Tongues are a sign to unbelievers as you will read so the typical usage is mis-used and unscriptural.

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.

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 does the Baptist belief about speaking in tongues?

Baptists believe that speaking in tongues, along with prophecy, and some of the other special gifts are not for today...they were just for back then in the Bible and that God never meant us to continue it into today. As an AG member, raised Baptist, I can say that I was missing something until I stepped into an AG church and learned about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. While not essential, it is an awesome benefit. Why the Baptists seem to think there aren't those spiritual gifts today, I don't know. Not all Baptsits believe the exact same thing. Some Baptists believe that when the Bible references "speaking in tongues" it should be translated as "other languages"and that it does not refer to random noises that nobody can translate.

What religions speak in tongues?

For the most part Christians. It's spoken of in the bible early in the book of Acts following the reception of the holy spirit to believers after the final accession of Christ. I Corinthians 12 and 14 also mention "speaking in tongues" as one of the manifestations available by a Christian believers holy spirit. This is considered perfect prayer that bypasses an individuals understanding and is to be done in private unless interpreted in a worship meeting. Despite the many religions and sects who speak in tongues many fail to actually live up to the concluding exhortation concerning the proper operations of this manifestation in the church. I Corinthians 14:40 "Let all things (context emphasizes speaking in tongues) be done decently and in order" -not acting crazy and being emotionally out of bounds.Many Christians in Pentecostal-type denominations speak in tongues. Though some choose not to.
