Video of fake pastor bathing church members
Meanwhile, a video recently took over social media with content that is highly controversial and appeared to be the height of moral decadence that an organization supposedly representing God on earth should be involved in.
In the viral footage, a pastor that was leading his 31st December watch night service was seen calling out female members who came to receive a 'holy bath'.
They would take out their clothes right in front of the congregation while the pastor and his assistance would clean their bodies and oil them up respectively.
