Is a Baptist church in the south a Southern Baptist church?
A Southern Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention and hold to certain conservative beliefs although each church is fundamentally autonomous. There is a Southern Baptist Church actually in Northport, Washington 7 miles from the Canadian border so, location is not the only thing that determines Southern Baptist. Actually, not only is location "not" the only thing, it isn't a factor at all. If a church is officially a member of the SBC, it is a Southern Baptist Church, no matter where it is located. There are Southern Baptist churches in many parts of the country and the world.

What is the difference in southern baptist and independent?
Southern Baptist is a denomination or organization of Baptists while Independent Baptist is a category of Baptist. Baptist churches are autonymous. By this, each baptist church is self-governing. In this sense all Baptist Churches are "independent." However, many Baptist churches choose to associate together in denominational groups. Southern Baptist Convention would be one such "denomination." Other Baptist churches may affiliate with other Baptist churches on some level but still call themselves "Independent." Other Baptist churches have no real affiliation and would also, understandably, call themselves as "Independent." While Independent Baptists, statistically speaking, may tend to be more theologically conservative than the average Baptist church, the actual beliefs of any Baptist church is really the decision of the individual church, so there is a limit to what extent one can know a Baptist Church by its label.

What is the difference in General Baptist and Southern Baptist?
Southern Baptist Churches are members of the Southern Baptist Convention, which is not quite a denomination, because it does not truly govern the individual churches. Baptists in general hold to, among other things, "autonomy" of the local church, but through the system of seminaries, Sunday School Board, and other services, the SBC is very influential. It is an association, the largest among Baptists, through which churches pool resources both for missions and outreach, and for services back to the individual churches. There are of course any number of Baptist associations of various sizes and purposes, but none quite as extensively developed as the SBC. The original national Baptist association formed in 1814 was called the "General Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States of America for Foreign Missions". The SBC was formed in 1845 in part over the usually regional differences in perspectives within this association regarding slavery. At the same time the Baptist churches up North remained somewhat loosely joined until 1907, when the Northern Baptist Convention was formed. This name ultimately was changed in 1950 to the American Baptist Convention & in 1972 to American Baptist Churches, USA. During the 1930's and '40's, controversy among the Northern Baptists over adherence to Biblical beliefs spawned the general Association of Regular Baptist Churches and the Conservative Baptist Association, which continue to exist today. These are the major Baptist organizations, yet smaller groups exist & Independent Baptist churches, who often fellowship & associate together, such as the Bible Baptist Fellowship See "Related Links" below for further pertinent information:

How many Baptist denominations are there?
There are quite a number of Baptist organizations today. The main governing distinctive of these churches is that they hold to the autonomy (independent rule) of the local church. Therefore some of the groups have organized because of location. Others have developed over controversy, as had happened in other groups considered as denominations: Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, etc. For a further picture of much of the Baptists groups & churches, see the Related Link below: "What is the difference between Southern Baptists and other Baptists churches?"
