Elvis has sold more gospel albums than anyone in history.
He had more number one songs for his hymn's than he did with his rock and roll.
He has sold 100 million gospel recordings...

My father knew the pastor of Elvis' church that he grew up in..
We lived on Tupelo in the late 1960's, he went to visit someone several times.
I believe it was his pastor.

I don't remember the details about the baptism.
I think it was Bro. Dyson who baptized him and/or some of his family.
I think Bro. Don Johnson has verified that.

Title: Elvis’ baptismal history illustrates great Pentecostal divide
Here’s an Elvis story you haven’t heard.
Elvis was baptized twice-once in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and once in the name of Jesus only.
Is it true? No one seems to know for sure.
Does it matter? That depends on which side of the great Pentecostal divide you come down on.
Elvis Presley’s Pentecostal roots were deep. His parents met in a Pentecostal church. His great-uncles co-pastored one. Elvis was baptized in one when he was about 9.
He was re-baptized in another one a few years later, according to Rev. Rex Dyson, still preaching Pentecostal revivals at age 100.
Dyson said he re-baptized Elvis and his parents, Vernon and Gladys, in Memphis sometime around 1950.
“I don’t remember what year it was, but Elvis must have been about 14,” said Dyson. I don’t like to talk about it. It’s controversial”
Controversial not because it was Elvis, but because of a vicious doctrinal dispute that has divided the Pentecostal world for decades.
Dyson is a Oneness Pentecostal, which, according to many other Pentecostals is the same thing as heretic.
Oneness Pentecostals reject the traditional doctrine of the Trinity-belief that in One God there are three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Why?
Well, for one thing, they say the word Trinity isn’t in the Bible. They also say the doctrine of the Trinity-difficult even for theologians to explain-can be misunderstood to suggest a belief in three Gods.
As a result, Oneness Pentecostals reject baptisms that use the triune formula found in Matthew 28:19, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
Instead, Oneness Pentecostals use Peter’s instructions in Acts 2:38: “Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Pentecostals generally don’t view water baptism as essential to salvation. But some of the more rigid believers say you can’t get into heaven with the wrong name on your baptized soul.
For Oneness Pentecostals, there’s only one name that works:
“We baptize in the name of Jesus,” Dyson explained.
“You don’t have the blood until you have the name, and Jesus is the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.”
That’s the sort of talk that got 156 Oneness preachers branded heretics and expelled from the Assemblies of God denomination in 1916.
The oneness preachers returned the insults, saying their foes subscribed to ‘three Godism.” Many went on to form separate Pentecostal churches and denominations.
There are about 17 million Oneness Pentecostals in the world.
Was Elvis one of them?
It’s possible, but doubtful, given the Presley family’s ties to the Assemblies of God.
Elvis’ parents met in 1933 in the First Assembly of God in East Tupelo, Miss. Glady’s uncles, Sims and Gains Mansell, were co-pastors.
Young Elvis was water baptized in that church in 1943 or 1944, according to biographers.
It was in that church that he first learned to rock and roll.
“Ministers played guitars, and gyrated, and dance wildly while parishioners rolled in the aisles, feverishly jumping about, and spoke in tongues,” Patricia Jobe Pierce wrote in “The Ultimate Elvis.”
The Presleys move to Memphis in 1948, when Elvis was 13. Dyson said it wasn’t long after that when Elvis and his parents began worshipping at his Church of Jesus Christ. the Presleys lived in several places at that time, and all were within a few blocks of Dyson’s church.
“Vernon and Galdys heard me preach about baptism a few times, then they came to me and said they wanted to be baptized in the name of Jesus,” Dyson said.
“Next Sunday morning I baptized Vernon and then Galdys. Elvis was watching from the side. He walked over to the baptistry, while his mama and daddy were still in the water and he said, “I want to be baptized like that.”
“So I baptized Elvis in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Dyson’s church was sold to another congregation many years ago, and the concrete baptistry has long since been taken out and carried off to the dump. Sorry, souvenir hunters.
Dyson doesn’t remember if he gave the Presleys a certificate of baptism. And he seems to be the only person who remembers Elvis re-baptism.
LaVonne Gaw, a researcher for Graceland, has no records of Elvis being baptized anywhere, but she plans to investigate.
“It’s an interesting question,” she said.
Patsy Presley Geranen said she knows her cousin was baptized at least once.
“I’m pretty sure he was baptized in Tupelo, but I don’t know if he was ever baptized in Memphis,” she said.
George Klein, a charter member of Elvis’ Memphis Mafia, met Elvis at Hulmes high School in the early 1950s.
“I hadn’t heard that one, but I guess it’s possible,” Klein said.
Dixie Locke Emmons, Elvis’ first girlfriend, met him in 1954 at the First Assembly of God in Memphis. They had Easter dinner together that year, and also attended an Oral Roberts crusade.
“I don’t remember him ever talking about being baptized in Memphis. I know he was never baptized in our church,” said Emmons, First Assembly’s secretary.
Dyson said he’s not making it up.
“I may be old, but I’m not dead,” he said.
“I can’t say whether Elvis is in heaven, I don’t want to be judgmental. But I believe Elvis was real Christ-minded, and I believe he knew what he was doing.”
Whether Elvis was baptized once or twice, though, one thing seems certain. His soul was clearly marked “Return to Sender.”
