I went to this church for about 3 mos. Of course I should have realized it was not going to be real being that it was in a small conference room in the Holiday Inn.
I was invited to be the lead singer for the church which had about 8 people in it. I got along just fine with Pastor Hamel and his wife Barbara. I was very gullible and gave most of my money because he preached constantly on it and uses scripture very very deftly.
He always said that he and his wife were going to stay right there in Cape Cod until a spiritual outpouring happened and they could grow a solid church there.
The pastor John Hamel wrote me a very out of context letter over email one morning as a response to an innocent and tongue in cheek email I had sent him the evening before. Obviously misreading it he wrote a very weird letter to me and when I asked him about it I was treated to so many scathing emails that I eventually had to turn them over to the police. They counseled me to stay very far away from him.
Recently I heard that John Hamel and his wife are asking for 20 thousand dollars in support from people they know over the internet via facebook so that they can move to Nashville, Tenn. I would like to say to anyone in that area to beware of this man. He quotes scripture but rarely has honest communication. If he misunderstands you or is threatened by you, then watch out.
He comes from the Oral Roberts gang and Oral Roberts gave many failed prophesies including the one that if he didn't receive a certain amt of money in the millions of dollars the Lord was going to take him home. Everything that Oral Roberts "built" the Lord has systematically destroyed, it seems.
Please beware of these wolves in sheeps clothing. This Pastor is always asking for a handout and will not work and his wife is older and has nowhere to call home. It is very sad. He has a large Facebook page but if you notice it is all scripture quoting with rare, real interaction. Some people are so good at manipulating others it is very scary. He is likeable but he doesn't have peace. You find this out if you cross him, he sounds like any other criminal when he's mad, lies, threats etc.
Beware and don't give him your money.
hee hee hee!
He also ALWAYS told us about these FABULOUS incidents where Jesus came to him etc...I don't know WHAT I was thinking. We are supposed to beware of anyone who has INTENSE experiences that MOST of us NEVER have as Christians. I was lonely and therein lies the rub..this is why lonely elderly folks get scammed by these phony christian churches that want money for everything. They tell you "if you don't have enough money for your need, it's your seed!" Like plant it in their palms! I mean that isn't even scripture! Anyway, I know I'm beating a dead horse and that most people are mad at tv preachers everywhere...I'm just now another one cuz I got ripped off. John Hamel is also on Cable tv in Hyannis or used to be. He even called little ol' me a "jezebel" because I wouldn't agree with what he was saying to me!

We thought the Hamels were so wonderful till they turned on me.We had been their transportation for five years.One time my son came to spend a month with me and I told them he would be coming with us when we came to pick them up to go shopping.Barbara texted me and said there was no roim in the car for my son.I said tgen we will bring the van it has 3 rows of seats and she said no there still wouldn't be any room for him and why can't it be the way it has been.Just us and them.I didn't want to hurt my sons feelings and I knew tgey would get mad and cop one of their attitudes with us so we didn't pick them up.I have gotten several nasty textes from them both because we wouldn't take them to the store in our car on their terms.They are making false accusations to me about me and calling me names.
I’m sorry to say that you earned it for how rude you were to me when it happened to me. When someone shares something like that about a Pastor you would be wise to listen and save yourself future pain.
What I find most horrific is the way these complaints have been publicized and by people who say they are Christians. It's obvious these are false accusations and false accusations are powerless because they come from a defeated foe. I declare that these complaints are powerless in the name of Jesus and The Lord shall repay those responsible for attacking this man of God. I pray mercy on you when the fullness of the garden you plantrd shows up in your life
If you knew them personally you wouldn't be saying that.
You might want to worry about the garden. You’re planting as you support common criminals. That’s the level these two are on.
I don't think anyone can stop the work of God, when you are of Him. I expect that the true Apostles today will handle disobedience of others with the same authority in Christ as Paul. I have great concern for anyone who falsely accuses and causes dissension in our body of Jesus Christ. Those of us who know the proper delegation of authority when dealing with trouble makers will use it just like Paul. The warnings and attempts at correction have been given. The authority to keep order in our body must be taken and if need be those who continue in such gross disobedience should suffer the consequences so they know that the kingdom of God is not in word alone but power. There is a delegated power of apostolic authority to hand the disobedient over to the enemy for the destruction of their flesh. That would stop all further communications of railings, false accusations, and dissensions.
How do you know anyone is falsely accusing this man?
This man handed you all an entire scenario about me amd who I am. Filled w Lies. What do you to with a Pastor who slanders the sheep? I’ve walked w the Lord for over 40 yrs. now and know well the tricks of the enemy in my life. Having been an abused child the enemy Loves to call me an abuser. This is his common trick w me. You’ve heard from my granddaughter up there. And I promise you were not all lying. This man projected everything he’s been involved in on me: the music scene ( he drove for Marvin Gaye), the police involvement ( look this up you’ll find it), the abuse ( you’ll eventually get the emails too), and the money that he constantly begs for. He asks you to March up and put it in front of him. This is a narcissist. Someone who takes you’re own story and twists it to deceive others about you, while projecting theyre own issues onto you. You cannot escape once they’ve done their dirty work. But the Lord sees and doesn’t like pastors like this.
I would like to know why does this pastor feel the need to critisize other ministers on facebook? What is the point of that - no minister I dont care if they float in the air for 10 hours while praying is perfect and shouldnt be critisizing anyone...Everyone has there good side and everyone has a side or areas they need to work on..I am friends with a lot of pastors and the only one that critisizes is PJH? Im glad he is not on my facebook anymore.
He was a facebook friend oh not anymore all he does it critisize everyone and joel osteen and goes on about joel and muslims he totally insulted me with a private message I mean Im from South Africa and he kept calling me an American! I cannot believe his attitude I dont believe in critisizing churches and pastors its wrong!
This is the alleged "abused" granddaughter. This is really sad that all this pastor has to do is sit around and wait for people to apologize. In my book, (the bible), pastors don't slander the sheep. Also, if someone is being abused, don't you call the police anyways? Why would you even "confront" an alleged "abuser"? You just feel the need to project your abusive spirit onto someone else. You live in White House Tennessee, more like Whitewashed Tomb Tennessee. And yeah, that's right Nancy whatever your name is, They did EAT kindhearted people. Now "Pastor" John, Lets see if you'll freak out at a 12 year old.
To Pastor Carlton Rogers.
"Those (Pastors) who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning. I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality and to do nothing out of favoritism."
(1 Timothy 5:20-21)
"When Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed (for hypocrisy)." (Galatians 2:11)
"Now I beseech you brethren, MARK them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them." (Romans 16:17)
I hope this helps you to understand why I have finally responded to you here. PJH
And you’ve been rebuked Publickly.
Dear Pastor Carlton Rogers of Dynamic Life Ministries in Front Royal Virginia aka dlmin,
Why do you continue to post refusing to identify yourself?
The fact that you received a notice last week from Complaints Board that I finally responded here reveals that you are at least one of the above false complainants using a phoney name. Duh!
If you "will not work to my demise" why did you try to steal from me, forcing me to hold you to your word as a man of God?
Then you turned around and tried to tell me that Mark Hankins told you to do such a dastardly cheapskate thing. I bet he'd appreciate hearing that.
Keep this up & I'll post everything else you said about him & his wife when we were with you. They won't like that you carnal backbiter.Neither will you.
Then we will move on to the way you mocked the Privettes to us, even as you have mocked us to them now.
After that I will come forth with your disgusting insults of Kevin & Ann Durant. Remember how you railed on them behind their backs, Mr Rogers?
Did you really think that it did not occur to us that what you do to others behind their backs you would soon be doing to us?
You "will not work to my demise?"
Why did you stand in your pulpit & condemn me after our meetings for you closed out? Your people contacted me and told me all about it.
Why have you posted these false accusations against me here under false names?.
Why do you encourage others to do the same?
Blowing out the candle of another truly is not the way to cause your own candle to burn brighter.
But it will qualify you to have you candlestick removed. (Rev 2:5)
Ask Mr Alexander, formally of Bolivia.
Neither is attempted theft, blame-shifting, lying and defamation of character - as a Christian Pastor no less!.
Or how about whining on public complaint sites under false names because I was man enough to stand up to you and tell you "No. You will keep your word and perform as you promised or we will cancel the agreement."
We'll keep this public spectacle, which you started, going as long as you like.
I waited 3 years for you to recant these lies posted here before responding.
You are now going the way of E.D. and D.A.
Both have been dealt with as you will be dealt with if you continue in your hissy fit throwing defiance.
The next time you post a false accusation against me here or anywhere else I will go into great detail about what you "revealed" to me about the Hankin's lack of character & their compromises in ministry - which by the way I do not believe.
Who believes a proven liar?
Post again and I will reveal in detail what you mockingly told us about Pastor & Mrs Private of Hampton, Virginia, your "Spiritual Parents."
After that I will go into even greater detail about the way you slandered the Durants and will hold nothing back.
Then I will notify them all how they can read about the way you slandered them to us repeatedly while we were with you in Front Royal.
Keep in mind that you shared details that they will fully realize I have no way of knowing unless Carlton Rogers told me.
The Apostle Paul exposed Alexander the Coppersmith & Demas. I am in good company.
So try me.
I have preached for many Pastors over the past 30 years.
You are without a doubt the most fearful, dishonest, slanderous, defiant, backbiting, unloving, demonically harassed man ever.
You do not deserve to be a Pastor.
I will not be at all surprised if the Lord took your church away from you - or you from it.
This is what I have formally reported to your Ministerial Association in Tulsa.
I stood up to you like a man Carlton Rogers.
Please deal with it like a man.
Sincerely, John Hamel
I will not work to your demise.
Putting out the candle of another man, never makes your light shine brighter.
.
Doug Bowling Nashville Tn

Pastor Brian W. Fox, Living Faith Bible Church, Newton, NC
“John Hamel is a man of God. One of the few Ministers I’ve had the privilege of developing a brotherly friendship with, John has contributed to my spiritual well-being in a way that exemplifies the conduct and character of a true man of God. In a recent semi-extended visit with us among family, friends and parishioners alike, he and his wife, Barbara, treated us with kindness, compassion and consideration. I am a better person today because of my encounter with the Hamels.
“Impeccable in every aspect of personal and public ministry, John ministered from the Spirit among us with great fervor. My ministry and our Church has never been the same since his visit with us. He conducted himself in submission to the Pastor’s Office and yielded himself to the Holy Ghost to much avail. Things were brought forth in such a way that I believe any reprobate present would have folded under the anointing. What we experienced as a Church was more than revival under his ministry; it was an awakening to the presence, power and purpose of God. 'Times of refreshing' came forth from the presence of God.
“I can offer no higher regard for a man of God I’ve had the privilege of knowing on a personal level as John Hamel. May the Lord richly bless those who receive him as the man of God he is.”

Rev. Dr. Jack Sisson, Clarkesville, GA
“I’ve known Pastor John and Barbara for over 20 years. They’ve been consistent. They’ve been consistently honest, transparent and committed to the cause of Christ. I’ve watched them consistently grow in their knowledge of Christ Jesus and in His grace. I’ve watched them grow in His mercy and love. I’ve watched God bless their efforts with ministry success. I’ve watched their response when life took turns they hadn’t planned. I’ve watched them respond in faith and patience to listen to the Lord Jesus and obey what He’s told them. As I’m able to do so, I’ve been pleased to financially support their ministry. I do this because I love them, but also because I know God is blessing them and I want His blessings to extend to the gifts I give in obedience to Him.
"I’ve known John to be fearless, uncompromising and formidable when standing up for God’s truth. I suspect it has had its costs. I also suspect the Lord Jesus has compensated them for their faithfulness. It’s not that they’re never wrong. What I have observed is that when God reveals an error, they are humbled before Him and willingly obey what He’s shown them. … I’m not an objective source of information and wouldn’t claim to be. Neither would I misrepresent what I know. This is Pastor John and Barbara Hamel as I know them. Please let me know if I can be of further help.”

"I would be happy to share with you my personal knowledge of Pastor John Hamel. I met John in 1990 while we both were Pastors in Norman, OK. We ministered at one other’s church and developed a very close friendship. John and his lovely wife, Barbara, both helped me load my truck as I pursued the call of God on my life and moved to Fayetteville, AR. I was involved with his ministry when he first moved to Burlington, VT, helping out with his “Heralds of Faith” TV broadcast. I will sum up what I personally know about Pastor John.
"I have never met a man who is completely devoted to the Word of God and to prayer. He is the most disciplined man I have ever met. When he pastored in Norman he had a set schedule of study, which was basically 9-5, Monday thru Friday. He and Barbara would spend time each evening praying in the Spirit, seeking God’s will for the future, as well as the present will of God for their lives. God has blessed them with not only a teaching ministry, but a prophetic ministry as well. He has personally ministered to me in both “streams” of his ministry on several occasions. You need only spend a short time with him and you will know of his commitment to the Word of God and experience the hand of God upon his life.
"John and Barbara are both people of integrity. Even as friends, they both continually speak the Word and aren’t one way on the platform, then another in private. Again, I have been blessed to have personally known both of them for many years and can tell you, from personal experience, that they LIVE what they preach. I am sure John has told you he is a graduate of RHEMA (Bible Training Center) in Tulsa and has been for years connected to the ministry of Dr. Kenneth Hagin. He preaches faith, not fear, doubt and unbelief. But he not only preaches faith, he lives it! I hope this brief post will convey my heart, and give without reservation, full recommendation of both the man and ministry of Pastor John Hamel, and his wife Barbara. ... I know your relationship with him is new, but as time passes, John’s heart and the anointing of God will become very evident to you. If I can be of further assistance to you, please feel free to contact me.”

“It has been my honor to be able to call Pastor John my friend for 26 years. We met when I first attended RHEMA (Bible Training Center) in Oklahoma and have stayed in contact with one another since then. We have ministered with one another on a number of occasions. Pastor John and Barbara are the kind of people you can depend on. To be honest with you, if John called and told me the sun is going to rise in the west and set in the east, I would go out to watch the sky.
“I speak with John and Barbara almost on a weekly basis. He and Barbara are both people of integrity and dependability. They are true friends. When I have a personal need or need advice for my Ministry, Pastor John is the one person I first call.
“Please let me encourage you to get everything you can from this rich gift God has so graciously brought across your path. Please feel free to call me and I would be happy to share the many times and ways God has used [the Hamels] to help me and my family. One example is during the time I was caring for my late wife. Pastor John called almost every day and when she passed away he or Barbara would call and text me every single day for three months. Let me tell you, I know of no finer friends or Pastor than Pastor John and Barbara Hamel. I hope I have helped you with these heartfelt comments."

I’ve watched his television programs and I’ve read so many of his teachings through his website plus the years that we’ve been talking always on a Christian platform, concerning Christian issues.

Greetings Complaint Board Readers,
This is Pastor John Hamel writing from Nashville, TN. Today's date is March 11, 2014. I would like to say a word about the dishonest complaints listed above.
Pugg77, the first complainer at the top of this list, is Autumn Eyles. She lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. She has caused problems for other Pastors as well. We continue to receive reports of her penchant for trouble. She is extremely rebellious & manipulative. She is very disrespectful. You notice she chose to not use her name but freely used mine.
Autumn came to our small new Church for approx. 3 months in 2010. She was in her mid-50's & altho' she is a Christian, she was very involved in heavy metal music & had been for well over 3 decades. She has emotional issues. She was desirous of singing in our Church services & becoming our Worship Leader. She simply was not qualified. I was willing to tolerate her bad behaviors, hoping we could help her. However, we were unable to do so.
After Autumn had been with us a short period, we began to notice abusive behaviors towards her 9 year old granddaughter who lived with her full-time. She was so abusive that I confronted her about it. She became furious & argumentative. I told her if the abuse did not stop immediately that I would notify the Barnstable Police Department & anyone else I thought necessary. Autumn's response was to turn to Facebook & this complaint board but only after calling others in our small Church in an attempt to destroy my credibility in case I told any of them what had happened.
I never asked Autumn Eyles for money. Ever. However, she did give small amounts & always made sure that what she was giving was seen by all. Most people give quietly & discreetly. Autumn Eyles always had to be sure everyone saw her giving. I patiently tolerated this knowing she was just a spiritual baby & that she would grow out of it eventually.
I encourage all of my congregations to pay their tithes according to the Bible. If they do not do so, they are still welcome to attend & we never pressure or condemn them. Autumn Eyles gave very little money to this Ministry & was never taken advantage of by me or anyone else in the congregation.
Autumn Eyles has had additional run ins with the Plymouth, Massachusetts police department because of additional abusive behavior towards another family member.
I have patiently waited nearly 4 years for Autumn to remove these false complaints from this board & to apologize to my former congregation for all the troubles she caused me & them. She has not done so. Today I have chosen to respond to Autumn Eyles hateful, punitive character assassination. It all occurred because she couldn't be the Worship leader of our little Church & because I warned her about abusing her granddaughter.
Concerning the complaint by PJSCalifornia. He did write to me through my website, complaining about an article I wrote about Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine. He was exceptionally disrespectful & condescending. I draw the line at name-calling. He is no longer able to communicate with me. So now he is lying & whining.
The other complaints concerning a series of revival services I held in Front Royal, VA are coming from individuals who are refusing to use their actual names, including Pastor Carlton Rogers. Again, a great willingness to use my name but a total unwillingness to use their own.
I held a total of 8 services for Pastor Carlton Rogers in April 2011. Those meetings saw many miracle healings & were extremely successful. Pastor Rogers immediately asked if I would please return in June for an additional 12 services. I agreed.
I do not require Pastors to sign contracts or to guarantee a certain amount of money in order for me to come & hold Miracle Revivals for them. Nor do I require any moneys up front. All I ask is that the Church pay our travel expenses & provide modest, not pricey, hotel accommodations while we are with them & that the people are allowed to give free-will offerings on their own.
Pastor Rogers verbally agreed to this for both series of services. I took him at his word both times even as he took me at mine. I kept my word to him in every way & he did not do the same. I will explain.
Just days prior to my returning to Front Royal for the second set of services, Pastor Carlton Rogers sent me an email informing me that he had "changed his mind about the free-will offerings." He now wanted to give me a small "honorarium" to conduct the next 12 services. He did not even have the common decency to call me on the telephone & speak to me directly, man to man.
I contacted him immediately, reminding him that we had a Christian agreement, that he had given his word even as I had given mine. I reminded him that our word is our bond. I told him if he did not keep his word & do exactly as we had done in the previous services, that I would not be able to conduct any further services for him. "This, " I explained to Pastor Rogers, "is a matter of integrity."
He reluctantly changed his mind & assured me that he would keep his word & do as we had verbally agreed to do as men of God.
I also want to say here that right from the beginning of my relationship with Pastor Rogers, I knew I was going to have trouble with him. He has a great problem keeping his word & doing things as promised. He often uses his wife, Elvi, to run interference for him, having her inform individuals when he does change his mind. I tried my best to work with him in this but, as I said, I knew this was going to ultimately lead to bigger problems - which it surely did. When someone refuses to keep their word concerning small things, they almost never keep their word concerning bigger more important things. This perfectly describes Pastor Carlton Rogers.
Pastor Rogers went ahead & had me come & conduct the agreed upon services for him because his people were so eager to have us return.
However, after having corrected him like this, he was not anywhere near as hospitable as he was during the first meetings. He put us in an inadequately furnished hotel room 35 miles away from the Church. He gave us an inadequate, unsafe automobile to drive ourselves back & forth to the services with no fuel in it. They did nothing to assist us with meals, gas, etc. for the first 3 days. We were on our own. When we would arrive at the Church prior to the services we found ourselves locked out each time, where in the April services someone had been assigned to let us in & take us to the Pastor's Suite prior to each & every service..
Pastor & Mrs. Rogers were moody & very irritated with us over the stand I took with Pastor Carlton. He does not receive correction well. It was a wonderful week of wonderful services for the people involved, but a terrible week for myself & my wife, Barbara, as the Rogers were extremely inhospitable, quiet, moody & even disrespectful behind the scenes. When Pastor Rogers would announce me at the beginning of a service, he led the people to believe that all was well, often reminding them that I was a true man of God. But during the rest of the time between services he & his wife avoided us & when we did have contact with them, they were curt & pretended to be too busy to fellowship.
Two days before the services finally ended, Pastor Rogers broke his word to me again in a major way. I addressed him again, gentlemanly but firmly, reminding him again that he had given his word to do things a certain way, even as I had, and that he was being dishonorable again.
This reminder was not any better received than the first reminder.
We closed out the services & my wife, Barbara, & I returned home.
The next day Pastor Carlton & his wife blocked myself & my wife on Facebook.
Within the next week or so over 50 people in his Church, including his staff, in-laws & other family members blocked us on Facebook. I soon found out from other of his Church members who have remained friendly with this Ministry that the next time Pastor Carlton stood in his pulpit, he railed on me & falsely accused me to his congregation. I have been told he did this on more than one occasion.
He told them that I am "one way in the pulpit & another way out of the pulpit." He told them that although to them it appeared that I walked in love, behind the scenes I actually did not.
Pastor Carlton's reference to my "not walking in love outside of the pulpit" was a direct reference to my having to correct him behind the scenes on two occasions for breaking his word to me in two very major ways.
The Bible says if someone sins against us that we are to correct them & if they repent for their wrongdoing, we are to restore them. (Luke 17:3-4) This is what I did with Pastor Carlton Rogers.
This is what Pastor Carlton Rogers refers to as "not walking in love outside the pulpit." This is a common response to being corrected from one who is still in the babyhood stages of Christianity.
He has deliberately not told his people exactly how he claims I do not walk in love, because he knows if he told them the truth they would be ashamed of him.
Pastor Carlton Rogers also stated that the miracles that occurred during the services I conducted in his Church "were partly God & partly the Devil."
This is how he justifies to his people cutting me off & "protecting" them, when in all actuality he is cutting me off for "correcting" him.
The bottom line is this.
Pastor Carlton Rogers tried to take unfair advantage of my generosity & good-heartedness in two very dishonest ways. I withstood him as a gentleman & as a man of God on both occasions. He behaved like a pouty child both times. He does not receive correction, even the most gentlemanly form of correction, well at all. His word means nothing to him as a Christian & as a Pastor. When things don't go the way he tries to force them to go, he will turn to un-Christlike, punitive behaviors such as slander, false accusations, backbiting & persecution.
Pastor Rogers even dared to lie to his entire congregation concerning our behind the scenes dealings in such a way as to strip them of the faith that was imparted to them during those wonderful anointed services.
What Pastor in his right mind really believes God will allow him to continue oversight of a congregation whom he abuses in this way?
He also has lied to other Ministers concerning what occurred between us, telling them only what he wanted them to know so they would think of me only what he wanted them to think of me. In essence, he has attempted to blow out my candle in order to make his own burn brighter. He is making me look bad to make himself look good.
Carlton Rogers made life miserable for my wife & myself during the second series of meetings we held for him in June of 2011. He tried to give me a $2000 "honorarium" for 12 services in order to withhold what turned out to be an additional $12, 000 given to us by his people. The people had been so generous with us in the first series of meetings that Pastor Carlton panicked just prior to our arriving for the second set of services, fearing they might give even more this time around. So he broke his word, attempting to impose his "honorarium" stunt on me.
Pastor Carlton Rogers is money-minded & fearful. As a result of his love of money, fearfulness & shocking dishonesty he hindered what could have turned into one of the greatest spiritual awakenings to ever have occurred in the Front Royal area.
For weeks after our departure, we continued to receive hateful text messages (some of which I responded to, some of which I did not), emails & Facebook posts from both Pastor Rogers, his family & his congregation.
I have patiently & prayerfully given Pastor Rogers three years to make this right with his congregation, other Ministers he has lied to, his family, my wife & myself. He simply has not bothered to do so. Rather, he continues to defy the Spirit of the Living God with his deliberate, premeditated misrepresentation of what occurred between us.
I have finally contacted his Ministerial organization with this report as well.
In 32 years of Christianity & over 25 years of public Ministry in both small & large Churches, I have yet to meet a man as dishonest & daring as Carlton Rogers. May God have mercy on his soul.
Payday doesn't come every Friday with God, but it always comes.
May the Lord judge between Autumn Eyles, Carlton Rogers & John Hamel.
I promise you, someone is going to be judged in these matters.
"For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord ..." (1 Corinthians 11:31-32)
Sincerely ... John Hamel
I disagree with these complaints .I know Pasyor John and Barbara and they are the sweetest people you could ever meet.They ate true genuine servants of God.They gave us $100 to help us the first time we met them.People that take don't give. They ate kind hearted people.I have seen them at church meetings perform miracles right before my eyes.Seeing is believing.I have endless good teports from other pastors about Pastor John and Barbara.Autumn Egles .I told Pastor John and Barbara what you all put on here about them.You was abusing your granddaughter that is why you got mad at Pastor John because he was going to report you.So you are spreading lies out of anger.Carlton Rogers you are spreading lies about Pastor John because you tries to go back on your world and cheat them out of $12, 000.A pastor should be a man of his word.the Bible says touch not my annointed.God will punish you all for trying to distort a true man of God.NashvilleNancy Bowling
Sorry to say I found these people oyt and I recant what I said.They turned on us and are attacking us with nasty abd threatening textes.
Have you ever been disappointed? Thats how I felt recently when a visiting speaker came to our church in Front Royal. His name John Hamel. After wittnessing powerful moves of God through out each service by what you thought was coming from a man of God only to find out later that it stopped in the pulpit. This man does not know what it is to walk in LOVE. He apparently has alot of potential, but don't ever question him or disagree with him because he will turn into someone you don't want to be associated with. If you go to his Facebook sites you will see how he has been ranting and raving for a few weeks now because he didn, t get his way. He does not stop there he has even contacted people by texting, Fb and emails and saying disrespectful things to them and about our Precious Pastor, his family and the church family. How very sad to be able to be used by God in one way but once you step out of the pulpit you dont show any of the Fruit of the Spirit.
:You will know them by their Fruit! "Sad to say but he has some ROTTEN Fruit.
I agree with this post, he has warnout his welcome in The Front Royal area..This man is contacting young christians and totaly confusing them.. I ask, is this correct, is this what Jesus does, is this making Our Father God in heaven pleased? I think not...We have a wonderful, God lead, compassioate, LOVING, pastor. All I have to say is "hahahahahahahahahah, you ole Devil...hahahahahahahahahahahahah",
he came to a church not to long ago...he is now contacting members and telling complete lies about the church...he truly needs to study his bible more...God is LOVE! God does not put curses on anyone...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I do feel sorry for him..somewhere down the line he has been placed off track... and I mean OFF track...Only God can change him...
this man is crazy...beware...beware...beware...
I go to a Church in California, I happen to Bible study with several pastors and Christian Authors. I sent an email to this guy to debate his false teach regarding Jesus drinking wine. He teaches that Jesus drank Grape Juice, 8 Months after the last grapes were on the Vine. The motivation for this teaching is that Wine contains alcohol and any consumptions constitutes a sin. He took scripture so far out of context to support his arguement that it was silly. He also did several things no Pastor would do. 1) He demanded respect stating basically that arguing with him was disrespectful. 2) He stated that I was not Christlike- which is great, Peter was told it is not for me to decide by Christ himself who should sit at the right hand of God (in Judgement) and this Pastor is apparently above that. No Legitimate Pastor is going to push anyone away for such a dispute. But Pastor Hamel felt that he should block further emails from me. I guess you have to do that when you have built your house on a foundation of sand. I do no believe he is truely saved but I will not go any farther.
I think we have to be care about who is saved God is the one who judges the heart, and it's hard if you see bad fruit, what comes out of their mouth .
