EX-UPC Church In Fresno, CA, and Snakes!

I heard of an EX-UPC church in Fresno, CA, that now incorporates rattle snakes and cobras in their worship. They sell them at the building's entrance, $59.95 plus tax. They run down the aisles swing the snakes while singing, "I'm a pentecostal!"

Of course the first church to come to mind is the one pastored by V. Morton but I seriously doubt this is happening in any church. I am actually laughing at it now. Looks like a post from one of my sons. LOL.

If Jesus was here in His earthly tent, He would turn over the snake table.

"Oh, it was the night that me and Doris, went running through the forest,
Way back up in the hills of Tennessee.
Well, we started making tracks, when they broke out the diamondbacks,
Scared the devil out of poor Doris and me."

I have a feeling that JL is telling a big whopper and thinks he is being clever.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
