Rex Humbard was the man, but he was Pentecostal and not Baptist. His church was called, Cathedral of Tomorrow. When he stepped down, the cathedral was purchased by Ernest Angely.
Humbard was one of the first to build around both radio and telly broadcasts in 1952 and to offer gimmicks such as prayer cloths and prayer nails, etc.
I don't know what Baptists you are talking about, but ordination is not a simple matter in the circles I travel. In Canada, it is an all day affair, involving many tough questions and pressure by peers. I have seen men called back for a second day.
