The bible says IF they drink any deadly thing; key word here is IF. And why should he pick up a serpent; it isn't a command silly.

But, taking up his point-that we do not widely witness believers doing these things-it should be considered that maybe the literal picture this provides us is just not how it really works; people's abilities in those areas vary, according to their confidence, or faith; and often go unremarked because it is just 'normal' to that person. We envision it as some freaky, miraculous occurrence, when it actually plays out in the mundane, save for possibly a witness or two.

Didn't say it was a command. Not the point. The question needs to be answered, by AN.

Your turn.
Do you lay hands on the sick? Speak in tongues? Cast out Devils.

Now if you believe that every believer will speak in tongues then do you also believe that every believer will cast out devils, heal the sick, take up serpents, and drink deadly poison?

If yes, explain why.
If no, explain why.
After all "Jesus said it".

Please provide an actual answer. But Ive got a feeling all you can do is post a smiley to cover up your lack of ability to post a thoughtful response. We shall see.

Do those signs follow believers now? Do ALL of them? Some? None?
