I was in a couple of snake handling services years ago. It was interesting. By the way I sat in the back.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor

See it's just this type of thing that gives Pentecostals a bad rap in my opinion..Notice how the news made it aware that it was a "Pentecostal" why as Christians do we try to duplicate what was done in the bible, why can't we just read the bible and stop trying to prove there is a God by doing what was done in the bible, this kind of stuff just adds to the fuel for non christians and make religion in a whole look stupid. The negatives aways outweight the good and that is what folks remember.

You won't go to hell if you do. You won't go to hell if you don't. It's the way he worships God. People should cut snake handlers slack. Most of them baptize in Jesus name and believe in long hair and skirts.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor

The hair and skirts dogma has damaged pentecost more than a pentecostal snake handler.

I personally am not surprised nor impressed. It means absolutely nothing.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor

Maybe it was a TRINITARIAN Pentecostal church. If so, maybe that's why it happened.
