I'm witnessing to a snake handler
 

So, I'm witnessing to a snake handler, from a trinitarian snake handling church. Should I just share Acts 2:38 with him or should I try to show the fallacy in snake handling? Should I direct him towards a "Jesus Only" snake handling church or a non-snake handling Apostolic church? How would you show the fallacy of snake handling when they say, "Well, Mark 16 lists all these things you do, BUT you say snake handling is just figurative"?

GOD BLESS!

Don't tackle his main belief (about snake handling). That just puts people on the defensive.
Just be friendly and bring up YOUR beliefs and why. Let him come to the conclusions based on his own personal meditation.

You shold go to his church wtih him and handle some snakes so he will feel obligated to come with you to your church.

Oh, let us know how that works out!

Tell him, it's OK to handle snakes, as long as it's unintentional. Pray for God to give unto him wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Eph 1:16-23) That'll cover both the snakes and the trinity.

Forget the snake handling... that's just ignorance
Focus on the Trinity,,,, thats Heresy and causing this person to worship 2 false Gods that do not exist as Gods..... he is disobeying Gods command in having no other Gods before him..... the snakes are a non issue.. its part of his culture and your never gonna change his mind.... he wont go to hell for handling snakes

Certainly we have power over demonic forces,of course we aren't to tempt God which I think handling rattlers is doing.
I would let the Holy Ghost lead me in talking with my friend.

"There's a snake in the pew!!!!"

"Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie!"

"I hate snakes! I hate them!"

"Awww common, show a little back bone!"

Number one, be sure to wear a good pair of leather knee high boots! :D After that, let God give you the words. Hope this helps. :)
