How could he be? He hadn’t been baptized by the proper ‘authority’.
Smith was bapitised by Cowdery whom did not possess any priesthood authority...
Oh noez..
and then after that Smith turned around and baptised Cowdrey...again with no priesthood authority...
They are all suppose to pass on “through laying on of hands” some “authority”
but nobody had it to start with...
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
