Can a person speak in tongues without having the gift of tongues? Possibly — but Romans 8 groaning is distinct: it is heart-pouring to God, not a spiritual gift requiring impartation.

Does This Verse Teach Cessationism? And a Bit On Bethel. 1 Cor 13_10-12 00:52:50 – 00:54:09

Q&A — question about whether tongues-speaking requires the specific gift.

Winger's view: not everyone has the gift of tongues (contra some Pentecostal teaching). Someone speaking non-language gibberish may not have the gift but could still be genuinely pouring out their heart to God in a confused way, similar to the Romans 8 groaning. The gift proper requires real linguistic content. He holds his view tentatively and acknowledges he could be wrong.
