Why does it work in India ?
What are our Christers doing wrong ?
They lack faith. Even they do not really believe what they claim to believe. They only sort of believe it, or half believe it, but they do not firmly believe it. Even the snake handlers in the U.S. don't believe the words in Mark, as they do not drink poison.
Also, some people in India do die from snake bites, so it isn't that everyone in India is immune to snakes. And some snake charmers "cheat" by defanging the snakes, stitching their mouths partially closed, etc.:

What we are really discussing is people putting on a show.
