Question
what do baptist believe about devine healing and speaking in tounges

Answer
Each Baptist church is autonomous, and thus each congregation decides whether or whether not to allow speaking in tongues, healing services, and a host of other issues. As a general rule only, most Baptists (individuals and congregations) do not believe in speaking in tongues, and many would not discount divine healing, although few churches talk about it.  

Again, because of the autonomous nature of Baptist churches, there is no one answer to your questions, although generalizations can be made.
