Do You Handle Snakes?

By Jonathan Hayes Sargent

"Pentecostal? Are you the ones that handle snakes?" It's the question that's haunted the Appalachian Church for decades--and it's just the beginning. In Do You All Handle Snakes? , Pastor and Theologian Dr. Jonathan Sargent tackles the most common (and controversial) questions people ask about the Pentecostal faith, salvation, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, dress codes, church attendance, Bible versions, and yes--snake handling. With bold clarity, biblical depth, and pastoral compassion, this book isn't afraid to confront misunderstandings, challenge religious tradition, and clear up the confusion that keeps many from committing to Christ. Dr. Sargent combines solid doctrine with a conversational tone, walking readers through: What it really means to be saved (and why grace is still amazing) Why the gifts of the Spirit are still active--and needed What happens after we die, according to Scripture How to study the Bible and grow spiritually Whether speaking in tongues needs to be interpreted Why holiness is more than a dress code This book is a guide for the spiritually curious, the doctrinally confused, and the genuinely hungry. Whether you're new to Pentecostalism or simply searching for biblical answers without religious fluff, this book was written for you.
