Are there different types of “speaking in tongues”?

There seems to be three types of the gift of tongues: First, a private prayer language that does not need to be interpreted (Rom. 8:26); second, a language that does need to be interpreted - this defines proper usage in the Christian congregation (Acts 19:6); and third, in the missionary context – as it appears in the context of evangelism where people are presenting the Gospel (Acts 2:11). Some churches teach that you have to speak in tongues to prove your salvation. This is a grave mistake since not all people speak in tongues. Not all people are given this gift by the Holy Spirit.
