Well, I guess what I'm saying is that it's not how I interpret Scriptures, but I have no issue with them doing this practice in their worship services. But, part of that might also be culture. I was raised Baptist, but everyone grew up knowing there were Snake Handling churches up in the hills around town, and if you didn't know someone who attended one of those churches, you knew someone related to someone who did. So it never seemed as foreign and strange to us since it was something we knew was close by.
I think they are sincerely wrong in their interpretation of scripture, but I won't knock them for their expression of their walk with God.
