Stuff about Baptists

Answer 1

I am a Baptist preacher's daughter, so maybe I can help.

Baptists do not cross-dress,men do not wear women's clothes, women do not wear men's. pants, shorts, etc. (pants are considered a man's clothing, wether or not it says men's or women's on the tag) Deuteronomy 22:5 "The women shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD they God."

Baptists do not listen to rock, pop, jazz, country, CCM, etc.

Baptists do not use any Bible except the KJV. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

Baptists believe that Jesus, God's son, came to earth as a baby, died for us on the cross, and rose again the third day, He is heaven right now. Romans 14:9 "For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living."

Baptists believe in Baptism by full emersion. But, baptism does not save, baptism is simply a symbol of the death, buriel, and resurection. It is one of few symbols Baptists perticipate in, commuinion being the other. 1 Corinthians 11:28-29 "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Baptist men do not have long hair and women do not have butch heads. 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Baptists do not go to the beach, or wear bathing suits for that matter. Baptist believe modesty is being covered from shoulders to knees. Baptists do not play Poker, do the lotery, gamble in any way. Baptists do not go to the movies, dance, etc. Baptists do not do Barney, Sponge Bob, Scooby-Doo, Elmo, etc. Baptists do have tattoos, earings, excessive jewelry, etc.

Baptists believe in going to church when ever the doors are open, (most churches have Sunday school, Sunday morning, Sunday evening, mid-week services.) Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of soem is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching"

Baptists do not believe in women preachers. Baptists do not smoke, drink, chew tobacco, etc. Baptists do not go anywhere where there testimony could be questioned. (resaurants that serve liquor, work at a place you sell cigarettes, alcohol, dirty magazines, etc.)

Baptists believe in living for Jesus everyday, not just on Sunday, we were put on earth to win souls to Christ, not have fun. Hebrews 11:25 "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season." KJV

Baptists believe in door-to-door soulwinning for men, nursing home for women, passing out tracks, etc.

Baptist believe the only way to escape an eternity in Hell is to pray to God to cleanse your heart, take away your sin, and make you a new person. Then, you may enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:3 "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"

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth"
