  • 100 Students Baptized W/O Parents' Permission

    Once in a while, a story comes along that brings joy to all of us. Here is what happened in a private Christian school in North Carolina. About 100 junior high students got baptized and told their parents afterwards.

    Several parents, of questionable commitment to Jesus, were hopping mad. "We wanted grandma and grandpa there when Jimmy got baptized--blah, blah, blah.."

    A Christian school's job is to crank out soldiers for Christ. It does not have time for grandparent photo ops. There is work to be done.

    Officials at a private Christian school in North Carolina have received backlash after over 100 students were baptized without the consent of their parents A spokesperson says the school normally ...
    Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

    First they removed 'Home Economics' from schools, making women attending pointless. Then bringing rifles to class for after school hunting no longer allowed. Then telling children they must be homersuxualists to be 'normal'? Now furthering along a persons life is a cause for outrage? I'm beside myself!
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

      Praise Jesus for the excellent proactive attitude of that school! Plus, just think of the time, trouble and expense they saved those parents.

      Yeah, sure, of course they did. Because it's all about putting on a show and claiming it's for the benefit of the wrinklies. But does anyone ever ask grandma and grandpa if they want to attend? Well, I do - merely out of politeness, because the answer is invariably "Thanks, but no thanks, Joanna." My parents and parents-in-law have attended enough baptisms of their own children.

      I fully understand their lack of enthusiasm. And their absence from this important ceremony sends out a vital message to children: "Nothing, ever, is All About You!"

        What the hell kind of "Christian" school is accepting unbaptized students, that's what I want to know.
        I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore,
        Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more;
        But the Master of the Sea heard my despairing cry,
        From the waters lifted me, now safe am I!

          Probably those with children whose parents claim to be “too busy” to attend Sunday Services or complaining about how they can’t tithe because they have three children at home to raise. Sickening. The quality of private schools has gone downhill ever since they started that voucher program. I heard stories of negroes attending Calvary schools even.

            I don't understand the controversy. Every student's Heavenly Father was present at the ceremony. Of course, grandma and grandpa will meet Him soon in person, so they can register any complaints then.

              I'm confused. What did they expect at a Christian school if not Christian behavior? If they sent their children to a Gay school, would they not expect their sweet little children to come back as little Homers?
              Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
