Any other die hard Pentecostals or Apostolics or other Christians on fire for the Lord and living your life to the fullest to please him? :D

I'm Eastern Orthodox. Used to be Pentecostal actually. Was on "fire," but God is teaching me the lessons of patience and perseverance apparently.

I'm a Lutheran, and my faith is about the most restrained in our worship of all mainline denominations as can be possibly imagined. In fact, my own Lutheran Church Missouri Synod was the first church body to issue an Anti-Pentecostal statement in history.

Not Pentecostal. I grew up in a Catholic home. Pentecostalism kind of scares me. The faith healing and people shaking and twitching on the floor, supposed demons coming out of them... not my cup of tea. But if it gets you closer to God, I won't stop you.

'Snake Handling', like Santeria and Voudon and Palo Mayombe animal sacrifice is allowed/protected by the American Constitution.
Freedom to believe in/practice religion is a basic American legal right.
Mutual respect of each other also means respecting what someone chooses to believe.

There are Christian snake handling churches in the state I live in. I don't plan to check them out anytime soon.

But in certain southern states, snake handling has been deemed illegal.

They might as well let anyone over 18 and not subject to conservatorship do it. Natural selection is best done in a contained environment. The protections mentioned in the Bible were never meant to cover deliberately drinking all manner of dangerous chemicals and passing around threatened and pissed off cobras...all for show! I wish I had a link to an old story of one of these preachers that ended up in the hospital from attempting to drink a little of a nitric acid solution! 8O
