Invalid. Sharpton is a minister like Biden is a Mensa member.

Fun fact: Al Sharpton is not a real reverend. He never went to a divinity school or received any sort of diploma. He is a “reverend” only because some real reverend decided to simply ordain Sharpton when he was nine years old.

Not much different from a real general deciding to make me a colonel when I was nine years old.

And it’s a pity that never happened. I would have enjoyed the title.

This is making a mockery of Baptism.

How can you have an article about a baptism without any mention of religion?

No mention of Jesus.

No mention of Mayor Adams testimonial.

No mention of his support for President Biden as he proclaims Easter Sunday as National Transgender Day and if that conforms with his Christian beliefs.

A Christian can only be baptized once. Assuming the first baptism is legitimate, there can be no subsequent baptisms.

Is this Adams's first baptism?

The Trinitarian formula is:

I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Anyone, even Reverend Al Sharpton, can baptize an unbaptized person, as long as they intend what the Catholic Church intends.

Al is no more a “Rev.” that I am. He’s never had a church, he’s never had a Congregation, and he never went to divinity school. He was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuated the lie ever since. He always quick to jump in front of TV cameras and, from the Tawana Brawley to the Duke Five cases, and many in between, he turns out to be on the wrong side. Yet all the hot rhetoric he can stir into the pot is for his own self-image. Despite the damage he does to innocent people, he never says he sorry. He should be tarred and feathered and run out of town...and pay his taxes.

It’s OK. I’m surprised Adams was never baptized though.

Full immersion baptism in the East River? In the name of satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet? May as well be, given the characters involved!

It’s solely the mercy of God that a lightning bolt didn’t fry the both of them.
