Given that you've made it clear in regards to what you are seeking, there are many here that will be happy to "teach" you how to receive what you think you're asking for. Some will encourage and instruct you on how to "practice" uttering your new language......cause' I guess it doesn't always come "naturally" (or so they tell me) to everybody .....like it did in the scriptures at Pentecost. And after you're able to continue on in your new heavenly language to full sentences, although I'm not quite certain how you'll know whether you're speaking a sentence or not given that you won't understand or discern what's coming out of your mouth, you'll be greatly edified by the knowledge and proof that you now have been baptized in the spirit......even though God's Spirit dwells within you the very second you repented of your sins and accepted Christ as your Saviour. And as an added bonus, you have multiple "apostles and prophets" here on this forum to give you new knowledge that God's giving to His people today. All you have to do to receive this blessing is to believe that they are who and what they say they are..... (don't be concerned if their revelations don't always line up with scripture because today's Christians put too much emphasis on God's word anyways).....or so we've been told by some. Play your cards right and you might even get yourself "certified" to cast demons out of people..... who already have God's Spirit dwelling within them. The "best of luck" to you in your new venture. You're going to need it.

I'll edit and repost without the sarcasm.
There are many here that will be happy to teach you how to receive what you're asking for. Some will instruct you on how to practice speaking in tongues. It doesn't always come naturally to everybody. And after you're able to speak full sentences, you'll be greatly edified by the knowledge and proof that you now have been baptized in the spirit. You have many apostles and prophets here on this forum to give you new knowledge that God's giving to His people today. They are who and what they say they are. With the proper training, you'll cast demons out of God's people too if this is your calling. I'm no longer ignorant about what I speak

That's better, Fester..
There is nothing wrong with that, is there?
Acts 8:
30) And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31) And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Many people are afraid, or unsure. Tell me, fester... How do you see the experience happening? (if you can, I know you're not a believer.) Do you think God is going to 'possess' you? Do you think you're going to be sitting there and words will start magically coming out of your mouth? The apostles did the speaking. Those born again in acts did the speaking. Holy spirit does not make you do anything. You have the ability, you have to do the speaking. People do not always understand this. They're waiting for God to "do" something. He already has, the rest is up to you. Some people need this explained to them.
Sorry, that is still sarcastic..
I Cor 14:
4) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;
5) I would that ye all spake with tongues,
14) For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth,
15) What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also:
17) For thou verily givest thanks well
I'm with you on this... Extremely skeptical.
Again, highly doubtful, especially when they claim to be speaking things from God that contradict the written Word. If it contradicts the bible, it ain't from God.
Do you believe demons exist? Or did they end at the end of the "apostolic era" along with the "gifts"?
Well.......

no satire, no irony, no sarcasm.
no smiley face.
no jokes.
just extreme regret that people willingly choose this stuff.
am starting to lose zeal for trying to point away from it, anyways.
i'm on to something else right now.
see ya.

God has not changed..... The Baptism or Indwelling first happened in the upper room and we receive Him (Holy Spirit) the SAME way. Repent and ask you will KNOW the same way they knew.... They began to speak with tongues as theSpirit gave utterance.. An y other answer is not Biblical.. Man has come up with a lot olf liesright from their father (SATAN).. there is no sinners prayer that when repeated saves ya. Read ACTS 2:38,39

If tongues is a sign then why does the Bible say that not everybody receives it? Also why does the Bible put it last on the list of gifts?
1 Corinthians 12:8-10
(8) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
(9) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
(10) To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians 12:28-30
(28) And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.(last)
(29) Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
(30) Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
