They believe in the priestly intermediary between God and man, with confession, absolution of sins, and prayers for them.They believe in the deification of Mary and the veneration of the saints, which the church approves of.They believe in one universal church, supplemented by various parishes that are not churches.They believe in the celibacy of priests, monks, and nuns.They believe in the church&#8217;s marriage with the state, which has been their ally in the past and has been used to persecute and slaughter dissenters.They believe in infant sprinkling, which gives a false assurance that they are Christians when they are not.They have suppressed the Bible and groups who oppose those teachings.There are many more practices, too numerous to mention here, which have not only led to an ignorance of the masses about biblical Christianity but also persecution and silence of those who believe in it.Protestants emerged from the Reformation believing in biblical authority and justification by faith.Certain vestiges of Catholicism are still retained to some degree or another in their faith and practice. Many mainline groups still sprinkle infants.They have a hierarchical church government that appoints local congregation leaders based on church faith and practice patterns.They believe in a Universal church that requires only faith in Christ to get into, whereby they essentially create two churches: the universal and local.They have traditionally been in league with the state, leading to the persecution of Baptist martyrs like Felix Manz, who drowned in Switzerland, and others like Balthazar Hubmaier who was chased and caught by Catholics who burned him, Michael Sattler, and Jacob Hutter, plus a host of others.In America, they banished Roger Williams and imprisoned over 40 pastors in one decade in Virginia. They whipped and imprisoned Obadiah Holmes, John Clarke, and John Crandall. They forced the first Baptist Church in Boston to assemble secretly and imprisoned their first Pastor, Thomas Gould. They have a loose view of church membership that filters into many Baptist churches. Generally, at least one of their practices or more can be traced back to Catholicism.A Baptist believes the church is a visible assembly of baptized believers joined together in the faith of the gospel.A Baptist believes in believers&#8217; baptism by immersion as the only mode and purpose of baptism. That baptism needs to be administered by and under the authority of a New Testament church.A Baptist does not believe in a state church or civil government controlling and restricting religion.A Baptist believes in a free, independent congregation ruled by the Lordship of Christ and governed by that local congregation under the Spiritual leadership of the Pastor called of God.A Baptist believes in individual accountability when it comes to conversion. No one can be sponsored or enter the Kingdom of God or a church by their parents or others&#8217; coattails. We will all be individually accountable to God for our souls as we understand the gospel.A Baptist minister in a local congregation does not hire a designated clergy person to minister on their behalf, interpret Scripture, witness for them, or serve in the body of Christ.A Baptist does not substitute tradition, personal revelation contrary to Scripture, denial of the basic teachings of God&#8217;s Word, and diminishment of its teachings to fit the contemporary culture of the day. They believe the Bible is God&#8217;s Word without error and our only authority of faith and practice.The head of any Baptist Church is our Lord Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, God in human flesh, who lived a life without sin, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sin on the cross so that when we believe in His atoning work God imputes His righteousness to us and sees us in Him. He rose bodily and visibly from the grave. He ascended into heaven after authorizing His church and sending them into the world with the gospel. He empowered them with the Holy Spirit and is returning to establish His kingdom on earth and in heaven.Baptists are biblically oriented, with the Bible as our only Authority and Christ as our only head.If you don&#8217;t understand these differences, you don&#8217;t understand Christian History and who Baptists are. Yet, knowing all this gives you liberating freedom to continue the work God has given us until Christ comes again.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Nelson &#8211; Baptist
