- English comedian and actor Russell Brand announced he has decided to be baptised into the Christian faith in a video posted to X on Friday.
In the video, Brand expressed his fascination with the sacrament, describing it as an opportunity for spiritual renewal and leaving the past behind.
"This Sunday, I’m taking the plunge. I’m getting baptised," he said while filming himself outside.
"What’s been explained to me is, it’s an opportunity to die and be reborn. An opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ’s name."
This comes months after Russell Brand faced a formal investigation for alleged sexual misconduct, for which he has denied any wrongdoing.
The world needs Jesus
Just name what he's done recently that's been of any value?
Hallelujah Amen God bless 🙏🏼
Absolutely! Without Jesus there is no light , there is no truth , there is no life . He is everything! Once you get to know Him everything makes sense .
@@retrothingz He loves you more than you know. For some it's less apparent in life, not for lack of God's love but lack of knowing Him
@@retrothingzask yourself what have you done recently that's been any value.
Russell I just got baptized 2 weeks ago! I am happy for you!!! 59 years old here! I need Jesus! 🎉
God be Praised!!! May you be filled with the Holy Ghost and have all knowledge understating and wisdom and all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus!!!
Everyone does. God is patiently waiting, he wants none to perish
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Praise Jesus! Welcome sister! ❤️🥰
God bless you!
My daughter suffered for 20 years hearing voices in her head. Then she was baptized by full immersion. She came up out of the water only hearing 1 voice, the Holy Spirit. She has been fully recovered for 10 years now. Praise Jesus.
Why didn't she have a Psychiatric assessment in that time? Hopefully it dosen't come back but if she is Schizophrenic it probably will.
That's a powerful testimony, thank you for sharing ❤
I call bullshit
@@BlindingSun_yes
@@BlindingSun_ call it what you want, but you cannot take away the freedom that only Almighty God can give through Christ. Things like this happen more than you know...
My 97 year old dad just received Jesus into his heart in October. He has dementia but had a clear moment and exclaimed “I’m changed!!!!” He just passed onto eternity last week.
He received the Spirit of YHWH. Not of a prophet named Jesus. The trinity is not biblical. Read Romans 1:3-4 at least 50 times until you finally get what its saying.
@@RoseSharon7777
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
That includes you, some day. 😏
Awesome!
Rest in peace
@@janicem9225 There is a difference between Lord and LORD in Hebrew and Greek. Just as there is between elohim and Elohim. Jesus is Lord not the LORD. He is a elohim not Elohim. This confusion has led the whole world into Apostasy. No man is the Elohim. Psalm 146:3. Isaiah 43:11. Deut 13.
Sorry but all elohim will be honored Rev. 3:9, 3:21, Rev. 21:7. But never as the ONE and ONLY Elohim.
It surprises a lot of people, but not those who have watched Russell closely. God is Truth. If you follow the truth consistently, you will find God. Welcome, Brother!
I'm happy for him😊 . We all need truth in our lives and Yeshua is the way, the truth and the life ❤
What is the truth ?
@@churchwatcher4526 Pontius Pilate asked a guy that same question back in history
@@churchwatcher4526 The Word of God is the Truth. 2500 prophecies of which 2000 have been fulfilled. God wrote a book and it has told the future over and over again to prove he is God.
Only God can tell the future he planned. 770,000 words, 3,300 names.
The Book of Revelation tells us what will happen in the 7 years before Jesus returns.
Mathew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 tells us, along with other chapters, the signs of the end times.
It's quite possible Jesus will return in 2031
Rather, Who Ms the Truth? Jesus the Christ, Son of the One True and Living God.@@churchwatcher4526
Baptism is a Public testimony about the decision you made to live for Christ in a lasting relationship of dependence on Him.
No - it is the place where you are born again, where you die to sin, where your sins are forgiven, and where you are brought into the new creation. This is the biblical language surrounding baptism and what the Church has always taught.
Yep, it's not a salvation issue but is exactly as you said!
@@merecatholicityplease rightly divide the word of truth different people different timeline! When you put all your faith in Jesus and his death burial and resurrection! You are spiritual Baptized in Christ Jesus! Saved! Kingdom of heaven (earthly) Kingdom of God (spiritual)
There are no Scriptural passages that teach that, nor has any ancient father, Creed, or Council taught that. It is the belief of a heretical group known as dispensationalism.
Amen. Dead to trespass and sin and now alive in Christ. All living things "grow" in faith and knowledge of their Redeemer.
I got baptized 4 years ago from Islam I found the truth Jesus Christ and I thank god everyday for my redemption.
Russel god is going to use you big time as I can see the anointing.💛
Let's see how many Christian Shows he goes on to after his Baptism?? They will keep him really busy I'll Bet!!! 😮😮😮
May God continuously bless and protect you sister.
Yet you're still a liar. Baptising did nothing for you
Please write his name as God or GOD, he is worthy of his name being properly revered. ❤
Yay 🎉🎉🎉 I'm so glad for you !!!
Before I got baptized l was a skinhead, nicknamed Lurch, but in 2001 . I buried him in a watery grave of baptism, now I go by my birth name John. I was full of hate, now l am full of God's love.FREE.
Beautiful words, There is so much love to be had where God is 🏵
God bless you
Amen brother!
I wasn’t bought up with faith, but at 16 I had a tragic family incident and the same day had an open vision of Christ on the cross and astonishing peace. I didn’t know open visions were in the bible as I’d never read it and my foster parents were atheists. I never had anything remotely like that happen after, no other vision. I do believe Russell’s faith is genuine as he has been consistent in his spiritual search for years, he will suffer some persecution and some rejection from the materialistic West. But it’s an honour to be persecuted for loving Jesus. Beautiful Jesus bless Russell.
So true! Let’s pray for him!❤
Great post!, I too believe this is GENUINE! ❤️
So well said. Let’s remember him in our prayers.
Dead to this world but ALIVE in Christ! A new creation. Congratulations !🌺🌿❤️
Brain dead to this world but now with an imaginary friend.
@@jupitermoongauge4055 Yea well sooner or later, you'll find out He's real.
Made alive by christ or by the Fathers spirit? People need study the facts about the very doctrine they say they believe.
@@RoseSharon7777 the fact is religion is man made and it is all total bullshit.
Congratulations Russell on your baptism ❤ I was baptised just last year at the age of 72 God bless you Russell and welcome
My daughter got baptized yesterday, as well. So very glad you and my daughter took the ultimate plunge. Welcome to the family of God. Keep seeking His truth. It truly does set you free. I cannot begin to say how happy I am for you! ❤❤❤
Best thing he could do for himself.
Absolutely!
Yes, he will make even more money from delusional idiots than he ever has before. Religion is the biggest and best con ever contrived by sociopaths, psychopaths and other assorted parasites, ever invented
Best thing is the Father draws people unto himself, Russel has been shown the way
Amen ❤😂
@@georgecooper4502 the "father" is as repulsive and repellant as Brand to anyone who can think critically. Brand is just another fascist, rapist, narcissist moron looking for views and the cash it generates. What a disgusting human being
baptism is the first act of obedience as a christian. It is an outward expression of an inward truth. I pray God does great works in Russells life.
And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
No Baptism, no forgiveness of sins and no holy spirit. as simple as that.
@@jsanchez3922so what happened to the thief on the cross next to Jesus? He wasn't baptised but Jesus forgave his sins.
Acts 10:43-48 sequence. Belief, Remission, Holy Ghost, Baptism.
God’s been doing great things with Russell’s life for a long time. I’m sure he will continue.
@@user-uz6yp8to1emaybe you get the wrong definitions of what believe on Jesus Christ means: James 2:14,26 KJV
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
This is brief definitions of the what believe on Jesus Christ means, you believe on Jesus Christ to obey him , as much as you learn in the New Testament- (Jesus Christ) to do or not to do that is what we have to do or not to do , just like in the covenant of Moses those who did not hear/disobey Moses law died of no mercy by the witness of two or three how much more dangerous it is to not obey or hear from him that speak from above whose voice is as thunder ? So just believing and not obeying Jesus Christ commands is not real faith it’s dead fair that can’t save , don’t look at the thief he was saved under the old covenant Jesus Christ was right there he could of save who he will and also the scripture never said the thief was never baptized nor it say the thief was baptized so we can’t say otherwise we will be adding to his word which is dangerous, but for sure the thief must have had some relation with Jesus Christ because he certainly have faith to acknowledge Jesus Christ as lord , and faith comes by hearing the word of God , so the question is are you hearing the word of God today ? One thing to note is that we are under the new covenant and that when Jesus Christ give the command in mark:16:15-16 to preach the gospel to every creature he that (believes) and is (baptized) shall be saved , so make sure that you believe the gospel of Jesus Christ and receive his spirit and are baptized into the gospel by Jesus Christ name for your remission of sins, and then live by the gospel to the end of your journey in Christ,
I didn’t expect him to accept Christ so soon, but knew eventually he would. He’s too intelligent. I’m so glad he did. I’m so happy for him. You’re always in my prayers Russell.
I'm getting baptized tomorrow!! I'm so excited:) I'm 47. Previously, I was baptized at 8. But I've come to realize that baptism was not a correct baptism. It wasn't a decision I made, but a tradition and my parents' choice.
God bless Russell Brand . Awakening wonder 🎉
God bless the abuser... Sounds familiar?
@@toe395 god forgives and Jesus saves . If you want abuse see Islam

Gulity and he knows it
Well done, Russell. may your newfound Christian way of life give you what you need. Big love and respect
God is great
Jesus is the truth
Yes. Brand will make even more money from delusional idiots than he ever has before. Well done Russell, religion really is the biggest and best con ever contrived by sociopaths, psychopaths and other assorted parasites. Well done Russell !!
I’m 59 and known Jesus all my life, just kept on putting of baptism. Finally got baptised 9 months ago from my own brother, praise Jesus
When I came to the knowledge of the truth after reading the new testament I had no priest to baptise me so I went to the ocean and baptised myself before God. It's been 15 years and I still an on my journey of faithfulness. We are cleansed through faith not by works. This is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
I love this ! God sure knows your heart. God bless you brother. 🙏🏼
Christ is risen
He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
Oh yeah ? Then where is he ?

Russel Brand is so much more than a comedian, actor and CZcams show host. He is a seeker of truth and in his journey for the truth he found the ultimate truth in his heart. God bless him and I look forward to seeing his journey!
GLORY!!!I'm favoured, $140K every 3weeks! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America 🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you more abundantly for your generosity
I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much
Big thanks to Renee Marie Harrison
She's a licensed broker here in the states 🇺🇸
Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me
Russell, your brothers and sisters in Christ are overjoyed by your decision. He leaves the 99 for the one, and His Love is fierce for you. The Believer’s Way is about the pivot: how do I change each time the LORD reveals more Truth to me about my true identity and authority in Yeshua Hamashiach?Praise Yah. He is relentless is His pursuit of our hearts, minds, souls, body, and spirit. What a warrior you will be for the Kingdom!
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” JOSHUA 1:9 NIV
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️
Congratulations Russell!
I am so pleased that you found Faith! The sins & scandals that have happened in organized religion are related to the human condition, not the Guidance that God has for us! You will be in my prayers that He can reach people through you & your platform! All His Blessings!
I was baptized at birth into the Catholic church. I was later babtized into Christ church at 35. I love the lord and thank him for leading me to his true word.
Congratulations Russell!, it is the best decision for everlasting life.
GOD bless you.
I was praying for you Russell - it was just a matter of time x
See you in Glory brother
Welcome home Brother. Many blessings for you and your family.
Traditional baptism is outdoors and by full immersion. It has taken me 60 years to appreciate that the most significant element in baptism is not the water but the coming back into the light - after naturally closing your eyes in the water, symbolising darkness. Coming back up and out into the sun-light, a symbol for God's presence, goodness, and grace. Sun-light is the most potent illustration we have of divinity and is wonderfully universal and beyond human language and breaches cultural, religious, philosophical boundaries. It was when Jesus came back up out of the water that the Voice seemed to speak from heaven (literally the sky) and a light came upon him that looked a little like a fluttering dove.
I was baptized as a child at 7 years old, but I didn't get it. I was baptized again as an adult once I had lived a life of aimless, meaningless worldly pursuits and relationships with unbelievers that did not satisfy any of my spiritual hunger or feed my personal longing to know God intimately. With me, it seemed more of a process than "feeling" any kind of instantaneous difference. After deciding I wanted to live the rest of my life for Jesus Christ, I slowly came to realize I no longer had the desire to live recklessly or aimlessly, then I realized the Bible made a lot of sense to me and I wanted to go to church and be with other believers, then I started to care more for other people and I developed the ability to care about all people, and have pity for others who didn't know Jesus and were unable to understand why I wanted to follow Him. It was at this step that things really started to change for the better in my life. Since then, I have never once been worried about my future. I have hope no matter what. It was like having my feet stuck in really deep, thick, heavy muck.. not being able to move, then as I grew in my faith, the muck turned more and more liquid until it was just clear water, then steps appeared and I was able to walk right up out of the water and stand above it in dry ground. Then I was free, and I remain free. I am redeemed, liberated from the miserable existence I had without my Savior.
Welcome home, sister in Christ! May God be with you always
Praise the Lord!
Prayed for him for years!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Praise God and Jesus! Congratulations Russell Brand. Welcome to the faith.
I'm 67 was baptized at 22. Its been a long journey, 4 steps foreward 2 steps back. But worth every minute. Stay in the Word- Study your Bible, God will never let you down! My faith has GROWN, I'm a believer. God gave us His only Son! Jesus is my Redeemer! Give God the Glory!
Praise the Lord my brother Russell! For to me to live is Christ! Phil. 1.21. Hallelujah!
Your Holy Spirit destiny becomes real !🎉🎉🎉 from Australia
Ohhhhh Praise the Lord Jesus Christ ❤
God bless, keep, protect, comfort and guide you in Jesus mighty name, Russell 🙏
I'm praying for a revival -- my water baptism was decades ago and an incredibly beautiful experience. ❤️🙏✝️
Wow! Mr Brand I am very happy to see this video… I got baptized in a little country church when I was 9 … and although I have not always walked the straight and narrow 100% of the time , I always find myself getting back on the path… back to Jesus. I am glad you have been called back to Him, our Lord Jesus. Many are called but few are chosen.
Congratulations Russell. I wish you the best.
Where was he baptized? In a church? Who baptized him? I am curious. Walking with Christ is a daily commitment. I will pray for him that he takes up his cross daily and will grow in Christ.
It's a PR stunt.

Wonderful Russell ❤❤❤ All Gods blessings to you as you begin your journey with Christ as your leader 🙏 ❤
You described it perfectly! Hallelujah! Welcome to the best of life!
Russell I hope you get a chance to see this personally. I prayed for you when I heard a report about the past. I am coming to UK in the next few weeks & want you to know my son Marc is a j6 hostage I would like you & he to have an interview. The most controversial topic here is the election of 2020.
Russell Brand you are making a mockery of Jesus & you will pay the cost of it!!
@cythiawilliams737 yes he will
How exactly is he mocking Christ 🤷♀️
Let's not condemn him. God calls who He calls. It is possible for Russell to be sincere, or even become sincere.
Man I'm so happy for you. I've been watching your journey and it's been amazing to watch you grow. Congratulations
Welcome to the light. He will carry you.
Beautifully said.
We are so back my dudes
I love it
Rebirth is the best. Praying for you. Christ Jesus is your portion. No spiritual weapon against you will ever prosper again. He breaks every chain. If you think you’re not different after, have a walk through Camden market. My husband after being baptised it became much more spiritually aware and couldn’t stand being there when once the things there didn’t impact him. And when you receive your Heavenly language, you will understand that you are unique Down to your finger print. Get ready to take up your place Russell in the Kingdom.
I pray he has a relationship with Christ, and knows that it isn’t the Baptism that does the work. The Baptism is just your proclamation to the world that you serve Christ now, and accepted Him as your Lord and savior! This brings my heart joy!!! 🙌🏽✝️🤍
Amen. Seems like he might be expecting a lot from his baptism in water. Believing the gospel, receiving Christ, and walking in newness of life is a much more profound experience than getting baptised.
If he is genuine I'm very happy for him.
as if . . . .!!!
Time will tell. All living things GROW
He’s getting baptized. Why wouldn’t he be genuine? Golly. All we want to do is doubt. Just be happy for the man that his soul has been saved.
That comment is judgement. As a born again Christian, I am so tired of this kind of judgement.
Because many think it's this that's saves you. Not doubt just caution and that because how awful if someone thinks they're right with God but no-one explained things properly. Speaking from experience of talking to many who were baptised and hadno clue about what it meant.
Amazing you will be born again and be a true child of God much love to all brothers and sisters in Jesus
Being obedient to God's command is the greatest thing you can do now walk in obedience to him and be blessed with a life that he said he will never leave you or forsake you welcome to the family
Russell expressed his revelation that he found the material world shallow which it is. Purpose and life meaning comes forth when one accepts Christ.
Welcome to the faith, brother 🙏
I still remember...in the year ' 95...after I was baptised in South Africa...I kept asking me mum..." Do I have all my " belongings?? Cos It feels as if I left something behind...".. Only when I got back home....did I get the revelation...the old left behind...t'was a good feeling
❤What a marvelous step of faith you took! 🎉🎉🎉 Praise God!! Congratulations and blessings from a French christian
When i got baptized i felt at peace and at peace, and felt lite on my feet.
I was thinking of doing it too.
That a great thought! God Bless you, I hope you do it soon 🙏😊❤️
Watch Pastor Jack Hibbs 🙏
God bless you
Go for it dear one... NO NEED to be part of a denomination, NONE of them. No churches, just DIRECT relationship with and through Yeshua/Jesus ALONE. Bible + prayer + your heart + Jesus = Beginning of your REAL connection to our Creator. Be blessed...
Being baptised into the name of Yeshua our Message is NOT about awakening and enlightenment in the way that this actor means. He includes Buddhism and other paths within his speech. He is the pied piper of Hamlyn at this stage, in my mind anyway. I pray this changes for his sake.
Remember as he is a famous person full of the highs of attention and fame. He is still a babe in Christ so indeed he may well still mix Christianity with worldly rubish. Let God deal with him. The Lord is Gracious and Longsuffering. Let’s pray he is sincere and not another JayZ or Justin Bieber who were just following a trend
Days of deception. 🙏✝️
He’s literally a FM.
I was baptised at 57 yrs old, born again with the true meaning of Jesus, all fear has gone, Jesus takes my hand & leads me on the narrow path .
Thank you for sharing this news with all of us, dear Russel. I'm gooseflesh. I'm speechless.
Welcome to the club. I got baptized on Easter this year
Don't fall for it he's not

May God Bless you in ways you Never, Ever realized you were lacking.
There are only two choices in life; both decide where you will spend eternity. Watching near death experiences, NDE’s, you get a better glimpse of what awaits. Heaven is beautiful for eternity . Hell is eternity separated from God and light. God bless you Russell. You are free now. ❤
Welcome to our forever family. See you in the air.☝️🙏👑
..with Russel you'll see him in hell first . .. !!!!
Oh my goodness it’s so wonderful! Congratulations Russell. I will never forget the day I was baptized and I was still a young girl then but it was absolutely the most enlightening, beautiful sacred and special even physically altering state of happening in my life I wish I could do it every day! God is so good, feel him! The Holy Spirit is such an amazing part of our creator. We are so blessed to walk with him. 🎉❤
I feel extremely JOYFUL and BLESSED to have another beautiful brother in Christ, Russell. My expectations? I would THINK, as with myself, JOY and a little nervousness (as I had never been baptized before) and very excited. I guess, it's like a hypothetical "washing away of my sins", so to say, making me fresh and clean, sin free as a newborn baby. I was 9 years old, I believe, when I accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and Savior (thereabout ) and 47 when I was baptized.
Very exciting, brother! For me, after being Born-Again, baptism and plugging-in to a solid church took me to a wonderful new level of Spirit-filled daily communion with God! Pascal nailed it: there is a "God-shaped" void in our heart that Jesus alone can fill. See Lydia's story in Acts 16:13-15. Notice: she was a worshiper of God, the Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message, she and the members of her household were baptized, she had become a believer in the Lord (as her savior).
Welcome to the light Russel..
You don't get to date and marry into a certain family and suddenly go against their beliefs and expect to walk around freely.
Wonderful news Russell! Many of us have had a colourful past like yourself, so you're not alone. Welcome to the flock brother. xxx
This is great news Russell. Welcome to the family!
So happy for him and God Bless. Nothing like having Jesus with you now.

If only you knew what is in those books, you would RUN to the Roman Catholic Church, where the Door is open and waiting for youto enter.
Yes, we have problems with anything run by Man, but the Truth withstands the lies of the Evil One. Ask Jesus to open your heart. Then open the Roman Catholic Bible and show me where anything written is wrong. UR welcome friend.

Wow, that’s awesome! Welcome to the biggest family on the planet! Get ready for a wonderful rest of your life!
That's the thing Baptism is not a ritual, it's a REPENTANCE. It's not regret about your SELF, or remorse about your action towards OTHERS, it's REPENTANCE which is about leaving out GOD. It's deep and life changing and continual. Your repentance is like cleaning out the foyer, the journey is about continually getting the rooms of the highrise cleaned out. Baptism without deep honest repentance is just a bath. I hope he's genuine. He'll have to burn all his tarot cards for a start. That's what I did. Turfed out every idol I had. Life is peaceful and genuinely lived now.
This is quite bizarre to me, it is hard for me wrap my head around it...
Simple. It’s a PR stunt.
I have been watching his transformation for a couple years at least. There is a revival happening. I am very happy for you, Russell. I think it's beautiful that you have gotten on this amazing and challenging journey. May God bless you.
It's been amazing watching the transformation in you. So proud of you. Bless you, my friend .
Congrats, brother Russell! Many of us have prayed for you. You can be such a great light of testimony to the world. Your baptism is your proclamation publicly that you are a believer. The symbolism is burying your old self and being raised to new life. Jesus did that for you the day you allowed Him to be Lord of your life as you repented of your past sins and turn to Him instead. Learn about the jewishness of our faith in Christ to deepen your relationship. Seek out how Jesus has already fulfilled 4 of the 7 feast days of the Jewish people and how he will fulfill the last 3 when he returns. Don't stop searching for His truth. Amen!
your awesome Russel
Russell, this is wonderful. Being Baptised is your telling the world you have found Christ, it is an outward proclamation. I remember mine and it was special, sparks didnt fly but I knew I had stepped up and obeyed God and that in itself is the blessing. I am noticing that you seem a bit calmer these days.
Dear Russel, I'm so very pleased for you and I know the love and the truth you will now experience. ♥
What a time to be alive. Russell coming into the kingdom of God. Glad to be a part of his journey. Sharing with all his followers that have seen his progress over the years.
And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. Gal. 3:27
Praise our glorious Father in heaven who loved us and made The Way, Jesus of Nazareth, to take on our sins, be cursed upon the cross and raise Him from the grave!! What a joy to be walk in The Truth, adopted to be inheritors of The Life!!
It’s been a few years but the waters aren’t washing away our sins. Christ can only do that but, it’s a GREAT symbol to move on with our life in a new light so that the world, Christ, & Christians can see our genuine want for change. 🔥🙏🏻
True baptism is receiving the Holy Spirit in your conscience who rules over it. You are still a sinner and act selfishly at times but you are now aware of it and therefore turn away and try to do good for others.
We humans baptize with water but Christ baptizes with fire.
When we believe in the Lord Jesus we become the righteousness of Gods in Christ. No longer sinners but saints. You will not find Christians called sinners in any of Paul’s, Peters John or James’s writings. We are new creations in Christ Jesus. Hope you will research this truth. Blessings
