Is Speaking in Tongues Necessary for Salvation? (Part 2)

Pentecostals believe and teach that speaking in tongues is the initial sign or evidence that a person has received the gift of the Holy Spirit. But does the Bible support this claim? Furthermore, is the baptism of the Holy Spirit a requirement for salvation?

This episode is the continuation of the answer to last week's question. Picking up the story in Acts 10, Dr. David K. Bernard completes his review of what Acts says about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Bernard explains why everyone who puts their faith in Jesus should expect to receive the Holy Spirit with the accompanying sign of speaking in tongues.

Dr. Bernard covers this subject in greater detail in his book The New Birth, which is available for purchase at PentecostalPublishing.com.
