Why do some Christians believe speaking in tongues is necessary for worship? Do Christians who speak in tongues believe that those who don't are not really saved?

Some congregations adhere to the 'tongues equals salvation' doctrine, but the majority of Pentecostal and Charismatic congregations are aware that tongues aren't necessary for salvation. When people say that things other than or in addition to Jesus Christ are necessary for salvation, I always point to the thief on the cross. As for it being necessary for worship, well, when it comes to worship, it is what's in the heart that counts. Tongues are a spiritual gift. To the individual, it is direct communication with God. To the congregation, when accompanied by interpretation, it is God directly speaking.

What dose the term 'Speaking in tounges mean',is it another way of saying ,speaking aloud verbally so people can hear you. As not speaking with a tounge means ,to think the sentance only in your mind. What dose the saying'White man talk with fourth tounge' mean. I think that saying means, to speak rudley,disrespectfully or swearing.
