The Baptists number over 110 million worldwide with more than 220,000 congregations, and considered the largest world communion of evangelical Protestants, with an estimated 32 million members in the North America.
The Baptists trace their origins to John Smyth and the Separatist Movement beginning in England in 1608. The term "Baptist" has its origins with the Anabaptists. The denomination itself is historically linked to the English Dissenter or Separatist or Nonconformism movements of the 16th century.
Baptism - As indicated by their name a primary Baptist distinction is their practice of believer's baptism and their rejection of infant baptism. Baptists consider Christian baptism to be an ordinance for believers only, by immersion only, and as a symbolic act, not having any power in itself. The act of baptism pictures what Christ has done for the believer in His death, burial, and resurrection. It pictures what Christ has done for the believer through the new birth, enabling death to the old life and newness of life to walk in. Baptism gives testimony to a salvation already received; it is not a requisite for salvation. It is an act of obedience to Jesus Christ.
What Baptist believe about the scriptures:
The bible is inspired word of God "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost"
What Baptist believe about God:
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.
" God is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.
