Sharpie Sharpton is NOT a “real” REV.; he never went to college, never took orders, was never ordained, and “REV” was a childhood nickname, because he used to act up during church services.
Was he baptized in the name of Jesus?
Was he baptized to Lucifer?
For his next stunt, Notsosharpton will wash the feet and kiss the rumps of incarcerated MS-13 gang members.
He probably answered an ad in the back of Rolling Stone to get his certificate.
I’d like to see them both experience “tactical baptism”.
Civil rights campaigner???
What a bunch of phonies!
Civil rights organizer, my Shiney White a$$!
Racist rabble rouser and Jew hater!
Heretics.
Or like Colonel Sanders is an Army officer. 😀
The bible makes nor has any of those requirements to be a teacher of his word.
“This is making a mockery of Baptism”
Kinda what I’m thinking.....I suspect most people would be baptized on Easter Sunday not the day Christ was crucified.
I attended Good Friday services at my church and it’s always a solemn occasion of mourning.....not a time to be baptized.
Greasy headed Al is a DeFacto mockery of Christianity.
He is a pretend Reverend, a fake shaman, a Black American Charlatan
A study of Acts of the Apostles 2:41 reveals the Bible records 3,000 people were baptized that day.
“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:41 ESV
“Bear in mind that a core group of 120 believers baptized three thousand converts. Neither the baptism nor the training needs to be a complex production.”

In 5 years with my church’s prison ministry I personally or assisted in baptizing several men, the ministry itself is responsible for baptizing somewhere north of 150 state prison inmates.
Almost all by volunteers with no official credentials for doing so other than a love for Jesus Christ.
Happy Easter HE HAS RISEN!

Don’t get me wrong. As you noted, you don’t credentials of any sort to baptize someone, or to lead people to Jesus.
My point (perhaps poorly stated) is that most people think Al Sharpton is a reverend in the traditional sense. He is not. He was just given the title when he was nine years old.
Yeah I get that.
He had every right to do what he did......the motivation behind it however, is something else all together......baptizing on the day Christ was crucified?......I’m sorry, but it smacks of mockery to me.
