I stand on what the scriptures say, and do not add or take away from the simple written truths.

Nobody is saying the gift of tongues is necessary to know if one is saved or not. You are arguing against a straw man.
You DO add to the scriptures, with this idea that all speaking in tongues is the gift of tongues. And you take away from the scriptures with your idea that people can receive the Spirit without them speaking in tongues as a result.
The Bible is clear, those who receive the Spirit speak in other tongues when it happens. There is not ONE INSTANCE in the book.of Acts of anyone receiving the Spirit and NOT speaking in tongues.
