Peter Adair's 1967 documentary, shot at a Pentecostal service in Scrabble Creek, West Virginia. Documenting the ostensible healing laying on of hands, speaking in tongues, and snake handling as a testament of faith.

  • the origin of punk slam dance

  • ;) I wonder which is more hardcore: safety pins through your nostrils or handling poisonous snakes. I'm a wussy girl so neither sounds particularly appealing to me.

  • Many folks think Holiness is absurd behavior, but they ought to look at the even more absurd things that other people devote their lives to. Is this really so absurd when so many more people fill their lives with alcohol and drugs and worship material wealth?

  • im not religious, but this is amazing footage

  • @tccwprez Translation: We don't actually believe in the Bible at our church.

  • ummm the strangest thing just now happened. i noticed that these people were at the time under alot of spiritual warfare then right when the snakes got in the vid it stopped playing. The holy ghost doesn't want me to see the rest so I wont. Praise God

  • @FergusonTO35- Comparing one thing to another, does not make the other one look any more better.

  • I respect many people religion and do not dare to insult, but I saw this in class today. but the scene

    1:22 and so on

    I could not help but laugh, not laugh at the religion and their practices but the way

    how that womans hair was dancing with her as she was dancin hahaha.

  • @tccwprez With all do respect, I wouldnt call these people "Fake" Pentecostals.I do not agree with handling snakes, but for all pretense and purposes, these people believe in sanctification alot more plain than your supposedly mainstream " charismatic pentecostal "church.If all you can see is the snake handling aspect of this video, then there's a whole lot more you fail to discern.

  • I belong to a more traditional church, but the Bible say's He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, God bless these people. I got no problem with them, they love Jesus and so do I. and I cant dance either

  • Strange Fire!

  • Beautiful!

  • This is so touching. Who is Peter Adair?
