As this has come up here before and I have been labeled a "heretic" by another. Tonight going through my Bible a verse came up that I would just like to post which would answer a question of "give me one verse where someone received the Holy Ghost and did not speak in other tongues or languages".
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Not that I need this verse to prove to any other person I have received the Spirit of Christ. Just that I feel bad for others who may be shunned and denounced if they do not speak in "tongues". Told by others they have not received the Holy Ghost unless they do. Which is false. Speaking in another language or "tongue" is just one of many gifts from God.
I'm with you, Richard. I have been a Christian all my life, and have never spoken with 'tongues', but we do know that satan also can speak with ongues and duplicate every gift of the Spirit, except discerning the thoughts of the heart, which is Heb.4:11, butwe also know Paul stated that the 'gifts' will fade away, so, why concentrate on that rather than a continuing revelation of Christ, Who is here, now, Col.1:27, in each of His children.
Yes, some may have a gift of tongues, others a gift of healing, but we need ensure we are expressing Christ, through our daily walk, being living examples of the standard our Lord Jesus demonstrated for us!
It would be interesting to hear thoughts of readers, who believe GOD reveals all mysteries, to HIS bride, before the catching away of 1Thes.4-15-16.
How and when the Seven Seals will be opened, by Whom, as it surely shall be done before satan takes complete control of this planet?
We know we are now in satan's Eden, the confusion, contention, chaos amongst all denominations is evidence of that, so what has GOD, Who already has defeated Lucifer, on the cross, got in store for Christians?
There are the wise and the foolish virgins; what is going to separate them?
Why are all denominations coming together, under one head, the Vatican, contrary to all logic?
Would be happy to hear from any who could enlighten us on these issues.

God Bless.
