Speaking in Tongues
Do you believe in being annointed by the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues?
One more question: Do you believe that only people who believe in Jesus Chris will get to heaven? What if they are good people with good hearts?

YOU are staying out of a debate???? OMG!!! LOL!!!!
I guess I don't understand the distinction.
"Comparative linguistics
"Felicitas Goodman, a psychological anthropologist and linguist, studied a number of Pentecostal communities in the United States, Caribbean and Mexico; these included English, Spanish and Mayan speaking groups. She compared what she found with recordings of non-Christian rituals from Africa, Borneo, Indonesia and Japan. She took into account both the segmental structure (such as sounds, syllables, phrases) and the supra-segmental elements (rhythm, accent, intonation), and concluded that there was no distinction between what was practiced by Christians and the followers of other religions.[10]...."

Well, there is speaking in tongues and then there is the prayer language. The prayer language is where you are praying in tongues which is considered to be a language between you and god, and only you and god knows what is being said. Satan does not know what you are saying. Speaking in other tongues is usually done in a manner where at least one person in the group can interpret for the audience. One is known as speaking in other tongues and one is known as prayer language.
I really thought it was clear. My reading of the article suggests that other groups of people aside from Christians have also engaged in what could be considered to be speaking in tongues. I didn't construct the prose. I merely copied and pasted a portion from the Wikipedia article at the website I put at the bottom of the page.

Interesting but I really didn'' understand a word you wrote. It's not you, it's me, it was very deep. Maybe someday I will understand it all.
I express no opinion on the subject but I did find this interesting.
"Glossolalia is commonly called "speaking in tongues". For other uses of "speaking in tongues", see Speaking in Tongues (disambiguation)."
"...Aside from Christians, other religious groups also have been observed to practice some form of theopneustic glossolalia. It is perhaps most commonly in Paganism, Shamanism, and other mediumistic religious practices.[64]
Glossolalia was exhibited by the renowned ancient Oracle of Delphi, whereby a priestess of the god Apollo (called the Pythia) speaks in unintelligible utterances, supposedly through the spirit of Apollo in her.[citation needed]
The Jewish religion has various citations of unintelligible speech beginning with the verse in Psalms 81:6 -
"The evidence was put in 'Jehoseph' when going forth on the land of Egypt:
A language I did not know I will hear."
The Talmud explains that Joseph was taught to understand all 70 toungues at the night of New years eve, before receiving rule over Egypt under Pharoe. [Rosh Hashana 18a, Sotah 41a] [65]
Various rituals and references exist about prayer of people not familiar with the holy language, and the importance of prayers said by people who only know how to mumble the words without understanding them. In the 17th century it was said in the name of the Baal Shem Tov upon hearing the prayer of someone who instead of praising God who blesses the years (HaShonim) praised God who blesses the women (HaNoshim). He said that this person's prayers are the highest and holyest.
There are various texts and sayings to be read during the Jewish traditional prayers, which are either unintelligable or purposefully said in Aramaic, so as to reach directly to God without intervention of the angels, who speak the holy language of Hebrew.
Today there is a Hassidic sect of Jews who believe in the importance of repeating a citation "Na Nach..." for national and personal redemption.
It is interesting to note the texts to be recited during the Shavuot celebrations (original ceremony of Pentecost) must be read in the original Hebrew directly from the Bible, even if the person reading it does not understand the meaning. [66]
Certain Gnostic magical texts from the Roman period have written on them unintelligible syllables such as "t t t t n n n n d d d d d..." etc. It is conjectured that these may be transliterations of the sorts of sounds made during glossolalia. The Coptic Gospel of the Egyptians also features a hymn of (mostly) unintelligible syllables which is thought to be an early example of Christian glossolalia.
In the nineteenth century, Spiritism was developed by the work of Allan Kardec, and the phenomenon was seen as one of the self-evident manifestations of spirits. Spiritists argued that some cases were actually cases of xenoglossia (from Greek,xenos, stranger; and glossa, language. When one speaks in a language unknown to him). However, the importance attributed to it, as well as its frequency, has decreased significantly. Some present-day spiritists[who?] regard the phenomenon pointless, as it does not convey any intelligible message to those present.
Glossolalia has also been observed in the Voodoo religion of Haiti,[67] as well as in the Hindu Gurus and Fakirs of India.[68][69]
Glossolalia has even been postulated as an explanation for the Voynich manuscript.[70]"
