Prophet Machale Taylor is condemning the actions of Prophet O’Meal Reid, the controversial American pastor who sat in a bathtub while extending public invitation in a viral social media post.

Reid has since responded to Bahamians in a second video post, refusing to apologize and remove the video.

Taylor of Machale Taylor Ministry, who facilitated Reid’s arrival to the Bahamas lastweek after receiving raving reviews of the American preacher, does not agree with the social media posts.

“It was vile. It was wicked,” said Taylor.

“I was disgusted and I called him and I rebuked him…”

Taylor added that he was made aware of the video after the three nights of services. He then requested that Reid remove the video, to which he refused.

“He row me out and cuss me out and said, ‘I am going to destroy you.’”

Though Reid visited the Bahamas many times in the past to hold preaching engagements at other churches, it was the first time he preached on behalf of Machale Taylor Ministry at host church, Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God.

Taylor said Reid requested of him to hold church services in the Bahamas and asked Taylor to accommodate him.

Taylor said he then sought reviews from other pastors in the country who vouched for Reid’s character.

Social media users called the video of Reid sitting in a bubble bath, “distasteful” and “fleshly” and the pastor of Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God Reverend Neil Hamilton who asked Reid to apologize, called it “offensive” and “inappropriate.”

Reid, in another post says he sees nothing wrong with the video since he was covered in bubbles while in the bathtub.

Taylor says he learnt a lesson from the debacle: “We (pastors) need to be very vigilant when bringing people into the country. We have a lot of powerful, anointed and gifted preachers, pastors and evangelists in this country. As minsters of the gospel, we are too itchy to go on the outside to bring people in and many times we don’t know the character of these people…We need to trust our own more, support each other and stop looking for foreign things.”

US Pastor O’Meal Reid of Kingdom Prophetic Church in Kissimee, Florida is hitting back following backlash he received for an invitation he extended to the public from a bath tub.

Reid visited the Bahamas last week to preach at Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God on Blue Hill Road, and in a video, he extended an invitation to social media users while in a bubble bath from his stay at the Atlantis Resort.

Some people called the video “distasteful” and “fleshly.” Joining the chorus was Pastor Patrice Smith and the pastor of Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God Reverend Neil Hamilton who prompted Reid to apologize for the “offensive” and “inappropriate” video.

But Reid, in a viral post on Thursday, said he does not regret posting the video to promote the nightly services.

“My body was under the water… bubble bath submerge. You can’t see [anything]… The only thing you could see is my face and my neck. There is no nudity. What is wrong with the video? What is revealing about the video?” he asked.

Reid said his wife gave approval before he posted it to Facebook.

“The church is too religious. Stop being religious,” he said.

Reid adamantly said he will not apologize.

“Wait for the apology. You will never get an apology from me because there is nothing to apologize about.”

Hamilton has distanced his church from the controversy saying another pastor under a Prophet Machale Taylor Ministry used the church’s edifice to host the services for Reid.
