For some Pentecostal Holiness churches, it is a sign of true faith and calling to be able to handle poisonous snakes. Through interviews with snake handlers in eastern Kentucky, the 1996 AMI film "Those Who Believe" explores their steadfast belief that they are answering the call of God, also addressing outsider’s perceptions of this practice and the church members’ response to criticism.

Pentecostal snake-handling churches in the South are a rare and controversial expression of faith, rooted in literal interpretations of Mark 16:17-18, which speaks of handling serpents as a sign of belief. Originating in the early 20th century, primarily in Appalachia, these churches incorporate the handling of venomous snakes, speaking in tongues, and faith healing into their worship. Practitioners see it as an act of obedience to God, a test of faith, and a demonstration of divine protection.
