some say you need the evidence referring to speaking in tongues

some say you need the evidence referring to speaking in tongues. oneness pentacostal's teach you don't have the Holy Ghost if you do not speak in tongues they also teach that you're not truly saved & born again if you do not speak in tongues. this oneness pentacostal teaching is false .
let's look at evidence
the evidence is demonstration of The spirit and of power. it is walked out . people can tongue talk it all day evidence is in the walk of newness of life as a new creation in Christ submitting to the will of The Father . the evidence is a inward work of the Holy spirit that produces a inward holiness that shines as salt and light and is a city set on a hill that cannot be hid lamps full of oil in dark and perilous times. the evidence is uncompromising the evidence is enduring til the end. the evidence is keeping ourselves in the Love of God. the evidence is the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
John 14:25-27
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 16:13-15
13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come . 14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.
 
 1 Corinthians 12:27-31) 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
 you know what is sad when the oneness pentecostals push tongues on everyone and it become heavy weights on them and those who are new in faith or weak in faith are caused to stumble feeling like something is wrong with them because they don't speak in tongues or seeing and hearing them say they feel like the Lord don't love them as much as someone else because they don't speak in tongues but others do . strife and contention there
sadly some are more focused on the Gifts than the Giver of all Gifts and some feel they are more righteous because they speak in tongues. some focus on works and feel that they are more righteous but who is greatest ? Matthew 18:1-6) 1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. what is the greatest gift ? love and it abideth forever
Acts 2:38-39) 38 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. 39 For the 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.
J.W. McGarvey gives this sound insight ----> The expression receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost means the Holy Spirit as a gift, and the reference is to that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by which we bring forth the fruits of the Spirit, and without which we are not of Christ.”
