One quick little note here - 

	A.  Most of those who call themselves fundamentalists believe that
	    "speaking in tongues" put you in a league with the devil, and
	    that the "gift of tongues" has disappeared from the modern scene.
	    (See /The Corinthian Catastrophe/ for an example of Church of
	    Christ teaching on the matter.)

	B.  Those who practice the speaking of tongues are generally grouped
	    into Pentecostalists and Charismatics, not Fundamentalists.  While
	    there are in fact many overlapping beliefs, many from each side
	    feel the others are not Christians ("They haven't received the
	    Spirit" or "They are filled with the Devil").  

My credentials:  I was raised a fundamentalist (Conservative Baptist), helped
found a Charismatic church (non-denominational), have attended many of each
and many in between (tongues are okay, but not for everybody).  Where I 
settled and what I believe now I will answer on request, but I need not spend
net-time doing it.
