Some of those churches are said to use rattlesnakes. Come to church one time in the flesh that could be the last time! Lol

All of those churches use rattlesnakes.

I knew a family who use to come here me preach up in By God West Virginny.
They were the sweetest people, very kind, loved God. But as wrong as the day is long about those snakes, and poison consumption. they loved to have church and they preach along with me at the revivals. I lost track of them years ago.

Sad, but there really are some stupid people that claim the Holy Ghost.

An arm can really swell up when you get hit with one of those things.

Fingers turn black, fall off.

That aint nothing nice.

Those ones in the video didn't look like rattlers. I guess they had no comprehension of the scripture "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

Re: In Jesus' Name: Taking Up Serpents
 

They do not view what they are doing as "tempting the Lord". That would be more like "Let's see if god keeps His Word or not." Instead, they view the scripture that says "they shall take up serpents" as a command. So they seek to obey the command.

One preacher once said "The Bible says they shall take up serpents. Didn't say they won't get bit."
