Whatcha scared of, Prax? A little ol' snake? Well, Peter was scared of water too, but when Jesus said "Come", Peter got up and went. You either believe or you don't. You either obey or...well, you know.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Yup, the only people obeying the Lord are those whose sisters are their future brides ...Oh whats that? Off in the distance! Can you hear it? The rat faced banjo boy is playing Deliverance

Thats right. Go ahead and make fun. Now I know how OP2 feels. Come on here speaking the truth and get made fun of. But as they sing up there at the Church of God with Signs Following in Jollo, W.Va, "The Word of God is right, Halleluhah to the Lamb...."
The Bible says Act 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I can't count the people who have done just that, gave their lives for the Word of God by takin up the serpent or drinkin poison.

I think OA is posting TIC (not really sure! ), but really, what are the other metaphors about?
1. In my name shall they cast out devils
2. they shall speak with new tongues
3. if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them
4. they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
BTW, this is a list of signs. A sign is an indication of something. It's noticeable. It wouldn't be a sign if people couldn't see it. So, how does one see that a believer is metaphorically picking up snakes -- doing spiritual warfare?
