Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: IN MY NAME THEY WILL CAST OUT DEMONS; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
–Jesus Christ in Mark 16:16-18 (ESV)–
