( CNN ) -- Federal and state police raided an evangelist 's compound in Arkansas late Saturday to investigate whether any children have been physically or sexually abused , officials said . The raid is part of a two-year investigation into a compound near Texarkana , Arkansas , owned by Tony Alamo Christian Ministries , said Bill Sadler of the Arkansas State Police . About 100 agents were on the 10- to 15-acre site late Saturday and met with no resistance , he said . Alamo , reached by phone in Los Angeles , California , denied any wrongdoing . `` It 's a hoax , '' Alamo said . `` They 're just trying to make our church look evil ... by saying I 'm a pornographer . Saying that I rape little children . ... I love children . I do n't abuse them . Never have . Never will . '' Watch Alamo deny the allegations » . Asked why authorities were searching the property , Alamo compared himself to Christ . `` Why were they after Jesus ? '' he asked . `` It 's the same reason . Jesus is living within me . '' It was not known how many children may live at the compound and whether Alamo would be arrested , Sadler said . Federal and state agents were executing two search warrants , Sadler said late Saturday , and no arrest warrants had been issued . `` Children were interviewed and continue to be interviewed at this hour and likely will continue to be interviewed tomorrow , '' Sadler told CNN . In addition to FBI agents and Arkansas state police , officials with the state Department of Human Services participated in the raid at the church property in the town of Fouke , about 12 miles from Texarkana . Alamo , who turned 74 Saturday , is an evangelist who also has dabbled as a singer and entrepreneur . Critics regard his ministry as a cult . The group has faced lawsuits and government actions , and Alamo has been arrested several times , publications have reported over the years . Alamo is well-known in Arkansas , said Lynn LaRowe , a reporter with the Texarkana Gazette . `` It 's not very rare to come out of any baseball game to find Alamo literature on your car , '' LaRowe said . `` Around here , he is an extremely controversial character . '' Alamo denied the existence of a compound , saying there are just houses `` for miles '' around his church .
