Essentially the Baptist faith traces its roots to a body of doctrine based entirely on the authority of The Bible, and not in protest to the Roman Catholic practice of infant baptism and sprinkling. For this body of doctrine existed before the first recorded infant baptisms in the AD250's. Baptists are those Christians who believe in the biblical practice of full-immersion water baptism as a post salvation evidence of repentant Believers in Jesus. The other distinctive Baptist dogma is the Priesthood of all Believers, which is to say, that each Baptist stands or falls before God on his/her own and that only Jesus is the moderator between God and man.
A few Baptists are "charismatic" and practice glossolalia (speaking in tongues) but most don't.
How Baptists view glossolalia varies a lot. Some consider it a major heresy, some regard it as a superstition, some as merely emotionalism and some few regard it as a symptom of demon possession. The belief that it is a required evidence of salvation is rejected by all Baptists.
A Baptist believes that baptism shows that someone is declaring that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that someone has given himself to Jesus and is now a Christian.
There are many more doctrinal beliefs such as the Trinity, eternal life, heaven, hell, Jesus is coming back, the end times, prayer, the scripture has absolute truth and authority and the church is the Universal Church of God and they are the Bride of Christ. They believe in repentance, forgiveness and serving Jesus and spreading the Gospel message around the world.
