Excerpt from the article you posted a link to:

<<The book of Mark in the Bible's New Testament calls serpent handling one of the "signs" that true believers must follow.>>

This is incorrect. The bible does not say to go out and handle snakes to prove your faith. It says if any deadly serpent bites you, if you are a true believer you will not be harmed. Paul was bitten and suffered no harm, but accidentally when he was gathering firewood. To deliberately get bitten is forcing a test on the Lord which is forbidden. I have heard that the snakes they use are "milked" before the service anyhow. I guess they don't get all the venom out sometimes. OOPS!
