Southern Baptist

Yet another one of those groups like soccer moms and Mormons who would rather have everyone else around them feel as pathetic as themselves.

Some of their known atrocities include burning books, promoting an "abstinence-only" approach to sex ed, and eroding women's lives (not only on the right to choose, but to the sickening degree of "a woman's place is in the home" that wasn't present in the time of Leave It to Beaver.)

As with any possible religious fundy, not all Southern Baptists follow these retrovisionist beliefs. Take with a full shaker of salt.

First the Jehova's Witnesses last Monday, now the Southern Baptists? Jenny, get my gun.

Southern Baptist

A religion that is often misconceived as hating people who are different but still talking about Jesus. This is not what southern baptists are about at all. they try to embrace everyone and know that Jesus died for EVERYONES sins not just certain peoples

Southern Baptist

A religious movement with roots in the British Colonies in North America created by evangelists who left the Church of England and founded new congregational religious communities in what is now the Southern United States. Because the ministers were not ordained priests of the Church of England in colonial times, these groups came to believe in the "priesthood of all believers." Also, the reason why they are "bible only" is because when they left the Church of England and its priests and bishops, the only authority they had left came from the Bible. By the way, it is possible to be a baptist without being affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The first baptists were not part of that, but churches join it mostly to facilitate missions and support common interests. A baptist church is only the people in it, (even if it's only two people,) their preacher (who can be anyone they pick regardless of education or credentials,) and the Bible.

My 6th great grandfather helped found the oldest church in the State of Tennessee. He was an evangelist from the Anglican Church (Church of England) in Colonial Virginia and told the poor settlers in Tennessee that Jesus loved them and that one day they would see Jesus and their family in heaven so they should keep on working and having babies. Now they're all still living there and in the general area, and many of their churches and the people descended from them identity as Southern Baptist and they might be affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention.

Southern Baptist Church of Arkansas

A substitute term, used to label/slander Christian churches/denominations/beliefs which lack the legitimacy, sacraments or theological depth of mainline apostolic Christian churches.

This term is typically thrown around on social media by Christians who consider theology to be an important matter, and view Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or a trad-Protestant denomination as the "correct" denomination.

"Well it looks the Roman Catholic Church, which is apostolically founded, is heretical. The Southern Baptist Church of Arkansas holds the fullness of truth."
