No. I think it has very undesireable consequences. Since it is a very unusual practice, developed within a tight religious community, it is very easy for Pentecostals to see speaking in tongues as a miracle. God is breaking into the universe to violate the laws of nature. They then begin to see the whole of the universe as filled with miracles. Their personal lives are interpreted in terms of miracle and history itself is understood in terms of miracle. This is counterproductive to serious science, social and political philosophy, not to mention deliberate planning of an individual life.
Since very few people outside of Pentecostalism are interested in speaking in tongues it is very easy for Pentecostals to think they are God's specially chosen people. Tongues are the sign of this.
So, while Protestantism may have produced the Enlightenment with it's emphasis on the written word, Protestant Pentecostalism has the potential to destroy the Enlightenment with its emphasis on the spoken irrational word.
