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.

As the video of a visiting pastor from the United States bathing in a bath tub, makes the rounds on social media, Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God wants to make it clear it had nothing to do with the pastor and the services he held at its church.

O’Meal Reid, a self-proclaimed “apostle” at Kingdom Prophetic Church in Kissimee Florida relaxes in a bubble bath as he extends an invitation to social media users to attend his prophetic services which were held last week at Evangelistic Center on Blue Hill Road.

“People of God listen, I’m preparing for the grand finale tonight. I’m here detoxing my mind, getting ready. God is about to move tonight at the Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God…Whatever you do, you do not want to miss what God is going to do. Come one, come all. Just want you to know, I’m already getting ready. I’m ready to preach and prophesy. God has a word for you,” Reid said while immersed in the bubble bath.

The video has since circulated social media platforms and senior Pastor of Evangelistic Center Assemblies of God Reverend Neil Hamilton sought to clarify his church’s stance on the video while distancing his church’s involvement with the event.

“The church hosted the event for another ministry. It was not an Evangelistic Center initiated service.”

Hamilton said his church finds the video “offensive” and “inappropriate”  and request that it be removed from social media platforms.

Hamilton is also asking that Reid apologizes to the “Christian community in the Bahamas.”

Social media users have spoken out, disapproving of Reid’s post.
