Brother/pastor Tipton needs to tread softly here.
The lad wants to please his daddy, obviously and has also discovered that he can be a source of a LOT of attention by conducting himself like a "preacher". He is a baby, for crying out loud. It is very sad. By promoting the media coverage of this behavior, Mom and dad are borderline emotional manipulators, and honestly, I felt some anger because of it.

I agree with the bolded part of your post. Very sad to see this toddler lose his childhood like this.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
