I’d like to know what his formal education is. Al Sharpton says he’s a “Rev” but has never had a congregation, church, or gone to divinity school. He was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuated the lie ever since. I think a lot of these guys have the gift of gab and parley that into the church and then rob it blind.
Some of the “Freelance” pastors are self-appointed “reverends” that require no concrete credentials, only a small group of people who will give their imprimatur of his qualifications to be a pastor.
This is a two-edged sword, as a lot of such pastors have been given their authority by God’s providence. A.W. Tozer was one of them. Barely educated formally, he had laser-sharp insight and the ability to express it convincingly.
And Tozer never even sought to buy any car at all.
I think Sean Hannity gave it to him.
