Yep Rob . . . it was called "being filled with the Spirit". I never felt it.
And I'm afraid I have derailed this thread . . . sorry . . . OP was about needing to prove god, or something . . .
But before I leave the "speaking in tongues" topic, I seem to recall being shown a film (in the early 70's) that "proved" the person on film speaking in tongues was actually speaking Sumerian, or Akkadian, or something like that. Of course, I can't find that study.
Some Pentecostal websites still claim it. Here's a quote from one: "Sometimes, the tongues spoken are reported to be real, known tongues of today. Most often, it's of unusual tongues such as Basque, Berber, Albanian, or one of the Caucasus Mountain or Bushman languages, though Finnish is also common." http://www.spirithome.com/tongues1.html
I prefer the sites that present real science about glossolalia, though. http://www.skeptical-science.com/religio...eal-story/
