Q: Is speaking in tongues available to all believers?
A:
Yes. In Matt 3:11 Jesus told the Pharisees and Sadducees after John had
baptized Him in the Jordon, "I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes
I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire.
In John
14:16-17 Jesus told his disciples, "And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you."
And
again He tells them in Mark16:17 And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues.
Acts
2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them repent and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. And ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For this promise is unto you, and
to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call.
If you're a believer (born again) then speaking in tongues is available to you.
Again
in Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This
verse clearly states that they were all filled, not some or a few, but
all were filled. All means all.
