Aside from being a Christian in name only, a true Christian has trusted in Jesus Christ as the One who died for his/her sins. The normal result of this is a new life that desires to live in a way that is obedient to God & glorifies Him on a daily basis.
While there are a number of folks that identify themselves as being Baptist, a portion believe in Christ, but some do not. Therefore some have clarified this by saying that they are Bible-believing Baptists. Thankfully, this is not always the case, even though the distinction of "Bible-believing" is not made, but there are those who nonetheless endeavor to be faithful to the truth of God's Word.
Historically, Baptists have held to certain distinctive doctrines, of which other Christians may or may not uphold in totality. A simple acrostic of this is:
Biblical authority for all faith & practice (The Bible being inerrant & preserved)
Autonomy of the local church
Priesthood of every believer
Two ordinances of the church: Baptism by immersion & The Lord's Supper
Individual soul liberty (The individual right & responsibility to believe)
Salvation through faith alone (Saved membership)
Two officers of the church: Pastors & Deacons
Separation of church & state
The order of membership in a Bible-believing Baptist church is salvation first (by trust in Christ as one's Savior), believer's baptism (in obedience to Christ's teaching), then joining a local Christ-honoring congregation.
Baptists claim a heritage that goes back to the days of Christ as believers.
Answer:Christian refers to behavior.Acts 11:26 (KJV) And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The disciples behaved like Christ and as a result were called "followers of Christ" or "Christians". A person may behave "Christ like" but not actually be "born again".
Born Again refers to a spiritual change that God performs in a persons life.
John 3:3 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4 (KJV) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
John 3:5 (KJV) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Baptist refers to the church that baptized a person, it refers to "baptism". A person that is a "Baptist" should be "born again" and should be behaving like a "Christian". However, a person may have been baptized in a Baptist church but not really be "born again" and also not be a follower of Christ (behaving Christ-like).
First of all, Baptist is NOT its own religion, it is merely a denomination of Christianity itself.
baptists strictly believe in salvation by only faith and not works and that works are only a way of showing love to our great God and king. Other denominations believe that works help or that salvation is only by works. Baptists believe that all Christians are saints were other denominations believe that their are no saints or that saints are something special. Baptists believe that the old testaments laws do not apply to us now such as the eating of meat or the Saturday sabbath. Wear as the other denominations keep the Old Testament laws or get rid of the old Testament altogether.
A Baptist church answers to a governing body such as the Southern Baptist Convention while Interdenominational churches usually have no outside decision makers. Baptist churches generally have the same set of beliefs while beliefs change among interdenominational churches.
They are the same church, of course; they are all branches of one Church of Jesus Christ. The difference between the Baptist church (branch) and the majority of others is that the Baptist church believes that a person should only be baptised if they believe, not in the assumption that they will grow up to become a Christian.
They don't. Baptist are evangelical christians. Unless your talking about the christian denomination then theres no way to know since there are so many branch denominations. I would suggest atending some baptist and christian churchs to find out.
Their beliefs are fairly similar. I'm not an expert on the bapist faith but I do know that the non denominational faith bases all their beliefs on the inspired Word of God.
Southern Baptists are Christians.
Holiness is like a a spiritual church, baptist is like a faith church basically the same as christian .
The difference is the two different religions. When you are Christian you Christen the baby. When you are Baptist you are Baptized.
Westminster Abbey is Church of England and St Paul's Cathedral is Christian but non-denominational.
Southern Baptists are Christians.
baptist believe once saved always saved where as freewill baptist do not believe this. I am freewill baptist i hope this answer helps you :)
Methodists generally have a more structured worship service and believe in the possibility of falling from grace, while Baptists emphasize the autonomy of the local church and believe in believers' baptism. Methodists also employ a connectional system of governance, meaning local churches are connected to regional conferences, while Baptists typically have more congregational autonomy.
I was raised Mormon I have attended Baptist church many years. In the last year I have been attending the First Church of the Nazarene. I trusted Christ as my savior many years ago. I do see some differences between Baptist and Nazarene. I believe Christ is my savior, and once saved always saved. So far, I don't see a strong difference between Christian and Methodist.
The difference is between truth (Orthodox) and error (Baptists).
A Christian is a person who believes in Jesus and is a philosophy, but not a religion. A Baptist is a part of the Christian belief and is a particular religion in Christianity. Christianity IS a religion. Christianity has many different Christians though. There are Baptists, Anglicans (high and low), Presbyterians etc. And though they all believe the basics and agree on them, they have many different beliefs as well, which arent as important to agree on.
There is not a difference, all Gods children are holy no matter what the denomination!
'Baptist' is listed as a Christian denomination. Baptists believe in Jesus Christ, as do all Christians.There are many different denominations who believe in Jesus Christ, and most of them are classified as 'Christian' religions. (See Sources and Related links below) Although they may all share similar fundamental beliefs, they also all differ from each other in some matters to a lesser or greater degree.Baptists don't usually follow a centrally prescribed form of funeral service. Each Baptist church decides for itself what form the service will take, but a bible sermon, appropriate mention of the deceased, and hymns and prayers are common.Therefore, if you go to a Baptist funeral, it is very likely that you will see no difference at all between a baptist funeral and one conducted by many other Christian denominations.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more information, see Related links below.
