Kash Amburgy and Snake Handling

Part of Roy E. Davis' evangelistic mentoring of William Branham included training in the doctrines of the poison and snake-handling sect of Pentecostalism.  Not only did Branham work with leaders of the sect, but Branham's core theology was also based upon the passages from the end of the Book of Mark commonly used in the poison and snake-handling sect.  Though later versions of his stage persona claimed that he did not agree with the practice, Branham refused to condemn those who did. One instance of the practice of snake handling and poison remains in the transcripts, however, wherein Branham described Roy Davis drinking poison as a "moving of the Spirit".  

The names of the men involved, however, are more difficult for "Message" cult leaders to remove as they are not easily identifiable through keyword searches.  One such person involved in this dangerous sect was Rev. Kash D. Amburgy from Ohio, who was greatly outspoken in the Pentecostal sect that practiced snake handling.
