Joseph Chambers (born January 19, 1936) is a Classical Pentecostal and has authored six books, co-authored 2 books,[1] has written over 185 booklets,[2] and made over 18 videos [3] on various Christian related subjects, including a video series with an exposé on Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin, and The False Anointing. He was married to Juanita H. Chambers and has three children and six grandchildren.
After receiving General Educational Development (GED), he studied through Montreat-Anderson College and was granted a non academic Doctorate of Divinity Degree<Wikipedia-Doctorate of Divinity> from [[Non-accredited Indiana Christian University]<Wikipedia>], and was granted a Doctorate of Sacred Literature from Bethany Theological Seminary.[6]
In 1992, Chambers and his church withdrew from the Church of God over a conflict involving doctrinal issues about the Charismatic movement, a departure from the King James Bible and holiness. Subsequently, Paw Creek Ministries was sued by the Church of God in a long court battle, resulting in the seizure of their 20-acre, $3 million complex in northwest Charlotte. The church eventually moved to its own building a few miles away.
He is the General Overseer of the Bible Holiness Ministerial Fellowship, which was organized in November 1998, and has ministers in the US and four foreign countries.[6]
Chambers blogs on his website about current sociological issues. Through his email newsletters, he has stated opinions, based on well established Christian beliefs, that frequently differ from mainstream media figures such as Oprah Winfrey.[citation needed][7]
He reports spending over $100,000 a year on media outreach[citation needed].
