COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A father is upset that his teenage son was baptized without his permission.

The father, James Radar, told KRDO-TV his son was baptized at Cornerstone Baptist Church two Sundays ago.

Chris Radar, 17, said he was told to put on a robe then, "I saw one little boy got baptized, but I didn't know he was taking me to get baptized."

James Radar said he was never asked if it was OK. He called the church, but didn't get a response. Radar went to the church with a TV reporter.

While the reporter was asked to leave, the church's pastor talked to James and his son. James told KRDO-TV after the meeting, "I told him my concern was that they baptized my son without my permission. He said he was under the impression that he was 18. He doesn't even look 18."

Chris is 17. He said he was invited to the church by someone he met while walking home from school.

KRDO reported that in 1993 and again in 1997, Cornerstone Baptist Church leaders were accused of baptizing children without parental permission. Cornerstone Baptist Church lost a civil suit in 1997.
