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.

A guy from the Southern United States who talks slowly and always acts as if what he has to say is of the upmost importance. This person is completely full of shit and literally does not know his ass from a hole in the ground. Southern dicks are fond of spreading their bullshit widely and can be found in anywhere were males congregate.

Get the Southwest Airlines mug.The University of Southern Mississippi (USM). This school is a failure at everything except music. If you want to major in music, it's a great place to be! If you want to become successful, you'd be better off at any other University (or junior college for that matter..)
USM is the school of choice for Mississppi's Gay and Lesbian community.
