So where do modern American Evangelicals get this idea, do you think?

From Martin Luther, obviously. He set more than a few folks straight on the issue since then-church authorities weren't doing their jobs.

My understanding was that Martin Luther was baptized in the Holy Spirit - with the evidence of speaking in other tongues - and that's what the church heirarchy was upset about.

It was Martin Luther who actually started the Methodist Church - that the evidence of speaking in other tongues was of God - and there were great leaders in that denomination like Smith Wigglesworth - who raised a dozen or so people from the dead. His exploits are legendary.

The Methodist church is but an empty shell of it's former self .. and is one of the reasons I left that denomination and went over with the evangelicals/tongue talkers.
