As reasonable a description of Pentecostalism’s origins as you’re likely to find:
my favorite thing about Pentecostal snake handling is that at some point somebody read the whole Bible and his one takeaway was “SNAKES”
“what did you get out of the Bible, Jim”
“mostly that we should touch snakes”
“anything else”
“there was some guy but mostly snakes”
Seen on Maud Newton’s blog, but the author is apparently this dude.
