My interpretation is that if these things happened to them by accident, i.e., Paul's experience with a viper while picking up wood, THEN the protection was there.
Is there any scriptural evidence of the apostles handling snakes as part of their daily worship?

I totally agree that your interpretation is the accurate one of the Scriptures. But where others want to malign these folks and make them out to be heretics, I can't go that far. Do I believe they are in error, yes. Do I believe they are in error to the degree that it's a salvation issue, or they are some type of anti-Christ or false prophets, not at all.
