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.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor

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

yeah, stop doing what they did in the bible. Stop worshiping, stop witnessing, stop praying. What are you thinking!?!?!?!

Most people I have encountered, that are not pentecostal, have never ever ever asked me if I handled snakes. Most people don't associate that fringe group with Pentecostals anymore than they do with Christians
