What is the difference between southern baptist and independent fundamental baptist

What does independent Baptist mean? Independent Baptist churches some also called Independent Fundamental Baptist, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist or IFB are Christian congregations, generally holding to conservative primarily fundamentalist Baptist beliefs.

What are Missionary Baptist churches? Are Baptists Arminian or Calvinist? The General Baptists encapsulated their Arminian views in numerous confessions, the most influential of which was the Standard Confession of In the s the Particular Baptists were formed, diverging strongly from Arminian doctrine and embracing the strong Calvinism of the Presbyterians and Independents. What is First Baptist? What is free will in the Bible? Being made "free indeed" means freedom from "bondage to sin.

What do Primitive Baptist believe? The Primitive Baptists are strict Calvinists who believe that only those elected by God will be saved. They accept the verbal infallibility of the Bible and expect the Second Coming of Christ. Ministers require no special training, because Primitive Baptists believe that God can call anyone to be a minister. Do Baptists take communion? Some Baptists and all American Baptist Association congregations practice closed communion even more strictly than do the Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox churches.

They restrict the partaking of communion or the Lord's Supper to members of the local church observing the ordinance. Does Golgi apparatus make lysosomes? What is the name of the hook like process extending anteriorly from the hamate? In fact, it can be said that there is no authority beyond the scriptures. The real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is not accepted by the Southern Baptist.

One highly observed fact about the Southern Baptists is that they live exemplary Christian lives. They are said to live with zeal, and they do their best to preach the Gospel in the say they understand it. These are the main differences between Baptist and Southern Baptist. Southern Baptists split from what is now the American Baptists back in over the issue of slavery The American Baptists decided slave holders could not also be missionaries, and since many in the south held slaves… For many years the American Baptists were actually known as Northern Baptists at least within the Southern Baptists.

There are actually quite a few different Baptist denominations — Missionary Baptists, Hard Shell Baptists — the list is long. All believe that baptism should come only when a person understands their need for a relationship with Christ — I personally was ten when my conversion occurred. Some are older, some are younger. And we all immerse. I would also ask you to logically answer these two questions: 1. Can you read the original KJV? Unfortunately, while there is inherently nothing wrong with the KJV, it is not extracted directly from the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts as other translations are, there is nothing to prove that the KJV is what you claim it is.

Thank you. What about the word Easter in the KJV? It should have been Passover. God does not approve of man made holidays.

Easter is from the word Ishtar, totally pagan. Of what significance is it if a person can or cannot read the original KJV? Familiarity with the original way it was written has nothing to do with its legitimacy or the lack there of, nor the legitimacy of any personal claim of preference.

For many years Christians were deprived of the Gospel because the so called church of the day withheld it claiming they were the only rightful interpreters of the scriptures. It would seem that it has been largely forgotten that the content of the KJV is primarily the work of William Tyndale. I would refer you to a book by Steven J. There is a wealth of information on the significance of what Tyndale did.

Because of this it can rightly be concluded that the KJV is a translation of the original Greek and Hebrew. I just don't see it your way. And just a tiny little clarification I am NOT trying to convince anyone of "my way. He is MUCH bigger than my opinion. I'm not sure why I put "Godly" in those quote marks. I don't know where you got the idea that modern worship music tickles my ears I said "anathema" which means the opposite!

John T. That is fine. It didn't really bother me and you are forgiven. I have never set myself up above anyone else. I am dirty rags and am nothing and have nothing unless my Savior gives it to me. I have strong convictions as does Crystaland we clashed. She tried to convince me her way was right and I tried to convice her my way was right and we both lost. I still stand my ground. Shira The reason I pushed you erroneously is that I noticed some "women?? Something you said made me think that you were repeating the tiff of Rebecca, acting like those women, and that you actually were Rebecca.

Sorry again for the mix up. Shira: I apologize, I mixed you up with Rebecca. Please forgive this slight. Perhaps I am also getting old!! Alan, you made a point to put in parenthesis "Godly" music of today.

What is Godly music today? I am glad the "modern" praise and worship tickles your ears. I am "old" and I sure love "old time music" and I got saved as a teenager thru the sound of "old time" preaching and "old time" songs. I am thankful for the old time way. Can't remember where, but the bible says to seek out the old paths. Wonder what that means? Alan, I could learn a lot from you. You are always so level-headed and reasonable, yet you make your points so simply.

You have a gift. The pantyhose, oh well, I don't wear them. I agree with is about the ear-plugs! But that's because I'm me!

With some people God uses brass bands like Salvation Army with others, wonderful old hymns, with others, modern worship songs anathema to my ears There is no reason why God should not use the rock style of music to help reach a certain group of kids. Calm down? Are you serious? Call me crazy, BUT it seems to me like you may be the one who had their "pantyhose in a knot. Good-old-fashioned- hell's fire preaching, a quiet hymn, a "how to be saved" tract, a television braodcast, and the list goes on.

God uses many different methods to draw people unto Himself. That is my point, and I won't limit God when he is able. Crystal my dear lady, I am also a follower of God as you are so calm down and we can be friends who just don't agree on certain issues. All the people that were saved because of a rock band, I am grateful, but they could have been saved with Godly music also. I have seen many teens saved without using rock music.

Also, while all the teens are being saved thru rock music, just think of all the ear plugs the rest of the church would need. I am not a fan of rock music. I'm not even a fan of Christian Rock music. I don't try to tell Him how to do things. I look to Him to do a new thing. I'm sure He had to use something different to get my attention, and I am just glad He is drawing these young people to Himself.

They are, afterall, the generation to carry on His work. I have not had a tiff with anybody. It seems they have one with me. I don't remember anything with Madison. Madison who?? Why are you getting into this anyway? Are you a fan of rock music? When I was young I remember thinking little richard was "IT". Now, I look at him and he is sissy and disgusting. My, how things evolve. Gena, What a wonderful, wonderful story! I was so uplifted by your recounting of this "circle of salvation.

We who minister to our youth are not laboring in vain. I've seen powerful things happen at these concerts. Things that seem to be sadly lacking in our churches. Shira: "You can't seem to see past your face. Remember the tiff you had with Madison? Reaching today's culture means using their tools. Last night, I heard one senior complain about the youth Pastor's use of Power Point and story-telling as "not preaching Bible".

Ok, that's two slaps from you, Shira. I'm "naive" and "can't see past my face. I think you are getting a little frustrated with the "proof" you asked for being posted. Many young people are saved as a result of Christian Rock Bands. This is distressing for you for whatever reason. I'm sorry, but may God soften your heart and teach you that insults are non-productive. Shira: You are right. Few churches could afford to bring in a group like Jars of Clay.

They are celebs among young Christians. They make their money from recordings. And if they worked for "love offerings" they'd drown in a flood of invitations from every church with a youth group. The Lord, however, can use anybody famous or not who seeks to glorify Him. Hundreds, if not more have been saved just because one teenage boy invited another teenage boy to a concert. Praise the Lord. If we are to be fishers of men, we use the bait that will catch the fish! Now that son who was invited to one of those teen concerts and got saved, is an associate pastor, and the young girl is now a missionary.

Their father, my chiropractor teaches bible studies at his church and witnesses faithly. Started going to church and learning about the Lord. Then their mother was invited to a concert to see the kids perform and she got saved! Then he invited his sister to a concert. She came and she got saved.

Both kids started praying for their parents.
