FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WKRC) - More than 100 students were baptized at a school without the permission of their parents.
The North Carolina school Northwood Temple Academy scheduled the baptisms of some of the students, but others were moved by the ceremony and wanted to participate. Northwood Principal Renee McLamb says she did not intend for the ceremonies to be kept from the parents.
"My daughter calls me from the school and says, 'Mama, can you bring me some dry clothes? I got baptized today,'" one parent said. "I said, 'What?'"
"Truly, the Lord began to move this morning and we were so excited about what the Lord was doing. Several students had given their lives to the Lord during Spiritual Emphasis Week and they were scheduled to be baptized this morning," McLamb said. "But the Spirit of the Lord moved and the invitation to accept the Lord and be baptized was given and the students just began to respond to the presence of the Lord."
