Why are you a Baptist?
I am a Baptist because I need to be rooted and grounded in the Word of God, and I believe that the best way to interpret the Bible is to take it literally. However, I am …a Independent fundamental Baptist, so I may not believe the same as Southern Baptists, though I am in the South. I am a Baptist also because I believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He is the fulfillment of all of the Old Testament prophecies. Answer I am a Baptist because I feel that Baptist churches, Southern Baptist churches specifically, stand strong by the truth of the Bible. The Bible is God's Word and if we don't follow it, then aren't we acting like we don't believe it? We can't pick and choose what parts of the Bible we want to follow. I haven't found yet a doctrinal statement in Southern Baptist beliefs that is not supported by the Bible. (MORE)

What is the Baptist connection to John the Baptist?
No connection really, although some Baptist Christians have sought to see a connection. Baptists, as a recognized entity, go back to the early 1600s. They often describe thems…elves as a "New Testament" church because of their emphasis on two ordinances (or sacraments), the use of immersion in baptism, and simplicity of their church and church leadership structure (things they hold in common with churches of the 1st century). John the Baptist was a Jewish prophet who carried out immersion baptism (like the Baptists). However, it was pre-Christian rite that it marked a radical repentance. Within the Christian context, baptism is a formal and public association of oneself with Christ, His death, and His resurrection. (MORE)

How long was John the Baptist a Baptist?
Actually, to avoid confusion, it might be better to call him "John the Baptizer." Even though "John the Baptist" is a correct term, it can confuse people who are familiar with… those Christians who call them selves "Baptists". Christian Baptists go back in history to about 1609, long after John the Baptizer was gone. John started his ministry before Jesus and ended his ministry before Jesus. Since John was a few months older than Jesus, that meant that he ended his ministry perhaps around the age of 33. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly when he started. (MORE)
