Speaking in Tongues

When was the last time you spoke in tongues. Pentecostal (Full-gospel) people believe that this is a unique gift bestowed by God to believers in answer to seeking, and as evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

This article does a good job addressing a spiritual phenomenon from a secular perspective. The issue of Spirit baptism created whole new denominations within protestantism. In fact if the baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues were not distinctively separate experiences from salvation, the pentecostal movement would not even be necessary. If speaking in tongues is as important as we say it is, we should practice this gift as often as possible and should encourage all believers to be baptized in the Spirit so they too can communicate with God on this intimate level.

Have you been baptized in the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues? How has this changed your relationship with God?
