hyles Anderson college/jack hyles a fraud? fund. Baptist?
9/23/02 [To David Cloud]
Jack Hyles was not only wrong on salvation and repentance, he was also a class "A" fraud. I graduated from his college and seminary in the 1980s. I attended First Baptist Church of Hammond for seven years. I played their game quite well, not knowing any better at the time. I "won" more souls there than anyone in my time there. I was awarded "The Sword of the Lord Award for Evangelism" in recognition of my "numbers." (They were in the thousands.) I taught "soul winning" in Pastor’s School.
Jack Hyles would say and do anything to validate his ministry and his massive ego. Numbers were ALL that mattered to him. I have seen buses full of black children who, while not being allowed in the bus ministry, were driven down the alley behind the church, told to repeat a prayer, and counted as "souls won on church property" during big days. It was a disgraceful practice!
In all my years in Hyles’ church I was NEVER able to find ONE person whom Jack Hyles personally led to the Lord, even in his own fraudulent way. He was big on sending others, but he himself NEVER went!
Thank you for reminding folks what a fraud this entire ministry was and is. His son-in-law now runs the show. He is a man who is thoroughly compromised by his detailed knowledge of everything that went on there for twenty years — the moral degeneracy of Dave Hyles, the child molestations, the rampant affairs, divorces, debauchery and adultery, the lust and fornication on the part of so many staff members, the cultishness, the siege mentality, the twisted doctrine, the arranged marriages, and so much more. I have seen it all firsthand.
Hyles’ supporters are now saying that a new day has dawned. The truth, however, is that Jack Schaap (Hyles son-in-law and successor) is a deeply compromised man. Until he makes that institution accountable for its sins of the past, he deserves not one whit of respect from Christians. He knew of ALL the abuse and turned a blind eye to it all in order to preserve his ecclesiastical inheritance. In effect, the man sold his soul. He watched more lives ruined by two decades of abuse than most people will ever know. I saw him many times around his father-in-law, Jack Hyles. He was a like a little puppy. I remember being so embarrassed for him
