Charismatic Chaos: Pagan Snake-Worship in Christian Clothing. This hard-hitting exposé uncovers the disturbing reality behind charismatic manifestations—holy laughter, convulsions, tongues, and “slain in the Spirit.” Drawing parallels to pagan Kundalini rituals, voodoo trances, and occult séances, it exposes the hypocrisy of Rome’s serpent-shaped Audience Hall and calls for biblical discernment against counterfeit revival.

 

The above video is a scathing exposé of the modern charismatic movement: holy laughter, convulsions, and tongues compared with pagan Kundalini rituals, voodoo trances, and occult séances. This article reveals the hypocrisy of Rome’s serpent-shaped Vatican hall, the counterfeit chaos paraded as revival, and the true biblical standard for discerning spirits.

Step into a modern charismatic rally and you’ll see the same grotesque scenes shown in the video above: men and women rolling on the floor, shrieking, twitching, babbling nonsense, and calling it “the anointing.” Their leaders shout “Fire!” as bodies collapse in piles. This is not Pentecost—it’s a circus.

Pagan Parallels in the Church

What is sold as “revival” looks exactly like Kundalini yoga, where devotees convulse and scream as the so-called “serpent power” rises.^1 It looks like voodoo ceremonies, where participants collapse and speak gibberish when “possessed.”^2 Even Franz Mesmer’s occult séances produced hysterical laughter and trances identical to charismatic meetings.^3

Are we to believe the Holy Spirit now behaves like Hindu serpents, voodoo demons, and occult hypnotists? Paul warned us: “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14, WEB).

Not New: Wesley and Cane Ridge

Charismatic defenders say, “This has always happened in revival.” True—at John Wesley’s meetings, some convulsed and fell down.^4 At the Cane Ridge Revival of 1801, worshippers barked, jerked, and screamed by the thousands.^5 But these were not proofs of the Spirit’s blessing. More likely, they were demons being driven out as the gospel confronted darkness—exactly as in Mark 9:17–18, where a boy convulsed and foamed before Jesus cast out the spirit.

Convulsions, shrieks, and collapse may reveal deliverance—but they are not “the anointing.” Leaders who parade them as proof of God’s presence are deceiving their flocks.

Tongues: Truth vs. Counterfeit

At Pentecost, tongues were real languages understood by foreigners (Acts 2:4–11). But Paul also speaks of tongues “to God and not to men,” unintelligible without interpretation (1 Cor. 14:2), even “tongues of men and angels” (1 Cor. 13:1).

The biblical gift builds up the church when interpreted. Charismatic babble—coached syllables and endless noise—does not edify, does not preach Christ, and does not glorify God. It is counterfeit.

The Serpent in Rome

Vatican Audience Hall

Here lies the hypocrisy. Catholic apologists rail against serpents in Hindu temples but ignore the Pope’s Audience Hall in the Vatican, designed unmistakably like the head of a snake.^6 The faithful walk into its “mouth,” the Pope addresses from the “tongue.” If serpent architecture is demonic in India, it is just as demonic in Rome. A house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25).

Discernment or Deception

The Spirit of God produces love, holiness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22–23). The drunken laughter, barking, and collapse of charismatics produce confusion and shame. What you see in the video is not revival. It is rebellion.

At the same time, some bizarre scenes at revivals may be demons being cast out—a genuine spiritual battle. The tragedy is that instead of rebuking the enemy, charismatic leaders market chaos as a “move of God.” They turn deliverance into entertainment.

Conclusion

The footage above tells the truth: modern charismatics are recycling pagan snake-worship and slapping “Holy Spirit” on the label. Worse, Rome condemns serpents abroad while enthroning its Pope in the jaws of one at home.

Revival without discernment is deception. Discernment without honesty is hypocrisy. The only true fire of God burns at the cross of Christ, where the Seed of the woman crushed the serpent’s head once and for all (Gen. 3:15).
