In Response To: Don't be too quick to jump on (bobbym)

Although the guy who started it all had been a Baptist before he became a Pentacostal.

The practice of handling snakes in worship began in 1909, when a Baptist named George Hensley joined a Pentecostal fellowship near Cleveland, Tenn. The result was a fiery revivalism that combined a rock-ribbed view of the Bible with a Pentecostal emphasis on signs and wonders. Hensley died of a snake bite in 1955.
