Hello Joni G.: I am glad that God brought you back from near suicide. If you have the correct baptism then I am happy for you. However, your experience is not yet complete. You need the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives you utterance. Paul, 1 Corinthians 14: 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and FORBID not to speak with tongues. These tongues he is referring to is the evidence that a person has when they are filled with the Holy Ghost. The word covet means to want ardently esp. something that another person has . If I can say it like this, Paul was saying to us and the Corinthian church that we should want this gift and evidence of speaking in tongues. The Holy Ghost experience did not just end in the 1st Century. What about Azusa Street experience in the 20th century? I have experienced this myself. I speak in other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance.
