  • My Biography

    I never knew Dad Goodwin, he went to be with the Lord many years ago. But I knew Mom Goodwin very well. For the last ten years of her life, she was my mentor and friend. I visited with her in her home a number of times, and we exchanged many phone calls and letters. The last time I was at Sister Goodwin's home, she laid her hands on me. God chose to begin using me in the way the Goodwins had been used in speaking in tongues, acting out the message, and interpreting. Other gifts began operating also. I've ministered pastorally or prophetically, part time or full time for 25 years. I believe God's calling on my life is to pick up the Goodwins' mantle and teach and demonstrate spiritual gifts in the same scriptural, balanced, and genuine way that they did. If you knew the Goodwins and wish to share your testimony with me, or if you have questions, please contact me at admin@brothermel.com. Kind Regards, Brother Mel

    Mr. Vreeland does NOT convincingly argue that the word of faith movement is not heretical. He completely fails.

    Hello Brother Matt,

    Thank you for visiting the site and leaving a comment.

    Vreeland presented this as a paper to a gathering of prestegious theologians, who did not refute or reject it. And to my knowledge, no other theologian has written a paper refuting his.

    That the Word of Faith message, and Kenneth Hagin should have to be defended at all is a sign of the times in which we live.

    Today in politics, everyone demonizes their opponent to the point where a civil word is rarely exchanged anymore. Loving the world, rather than Christ, we have patterned ourselves after the world’s ways. We used to view other Christian brethren as sincere men, whose ministries bear good fruit, but with which we do not entirely agree on non-salvation related issues. Now we denounce other brethren as little more than heretics personally anointed and commissioned by Satan himself to destroy the “true” Christian faith–which of course, only we and our little group truly represent.

    Our current definition of “heretic” is “anyone who disagrees with me, or who isn’t approved of by my group’s home office.” While our time is consumed with slinging the h-word (heretic!) at each other, a lost and dying world goes to Hell every day.

    And the angels weep….

    And so shall we, when we stand before Christ someday and give an account to Him for the awful things we have called each other.

    Something about which we should all stop and think.

    Kind Regards,
    Brother Mel
