Pentecostal Snake Handlers in Appalachia - documentary bit
Back"And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." --Mark 16:17-18 Serpent-handling as a ritual of faith. "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." --Luke 10:19 Prof. Tom Burton, the author of "Serpent Handling Believers", says "If you were there when they were not taking up serpents, or even during other parts of a service where they did, it would be like many other Pentecostal groups"...... "There is singing, preaching, laying on of hands, praying, testifying, and that sort of thing. It's kind of an expressive church service where people freely share emotions, a very participatory service like most Pentecostal services." George Went Hensley (1880-1955) - West Virginia - Holiness Practitioners - Holiness-Pentecostals
