My wife grew up pentacostal. I don't have a problem with most of their beliefs, but the speaking in tongues thing still makes me uneasy. Speaking in tongues is biblical, and I have no doubt it happens still today, but there are surely many people faking the gift.
Also being "slain in the spirit" is problematic to me as I see no biblical basis for it.
