Church history

In 1992, Chambers and his flock withdrew from the ranks of the Church of God based out of Cleveland TN, over a conflict involving doctrinal issues about the Charismatic movement, the promotion of Benny Hinn, departure from the King James Bible and holiness. Subsequently, Chamber's ministry was sued by the Church of God in a long court battle, resulting in the seizure of Chamber's 20 acre 3 million dollar complex. He claims that the Church of God was in collusion with the government and the Methodist judge who ruled against his ministry.
