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?" On that site also is resource below to a number of Related Links that reveal more about Baptist churches.

Why southern baptist separate of American baptist?
The Triennial Convention in the United States divided into the Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions in 1845. There were several reasons. H. Leon McBeth (in "The Baptist Heritage: Four Centuries of Baptist Witness") listed three major reasons. 1. Method of Organization. Baptist churches in the North preferred a society structure. Baptist churches in the South preferred a more denominational structure. This reflects somewhat different attitudes regarding how Baptists (who believe in the autonomy of local churches) can and should work together on common causes such as benevolence and missions. 2. Home Missions. Southern churches felt that they were being neglected with regard to home missionaries. In effect, they felt they were putting in more than they were getting out of the Convention. 3. Slavery. While many Baptists and Baptist churches, both in the North and South, opposed slavery (either wanting it abolished, or encouraging its gradual demise) as slavery became a polarizing issue in the United States in the early to mid-1800s, so it became among Baptists as well. As the 1800s progressed, Northern churches became more strongly anti-slavery, and Southern churches became more strongly pro-slavery (or at least anti-abolition). To discuss what caused the break-up of the Baptists into North and South is like asking about the causes of the US Civil War. In both cases there were several fuels, but it was slavery that lit the match. Obviously, the slavery issue became a moot point within 20 years of the separation, but other issues came up that increased the cultural gap between North and South, keeping them separate.
What is an independent Baptist?
An Independent Baptist church is just that-- independent.They hold to the fundamentals of faith: the virgin birth, deity AND humanity of Christ, the trinity, inspired KING JAMES VERSION of the Bible for English speaking people, etc. They are independent by not being a part of an association or convention. Although we do like to fellowship of those with a like mind as us, we are not a part of anything formal fellowships. Not all Independent Baptist churches are the same. Most hold to conservative beliefs and music and dress, where others do not. I am an Independent Baptist, and at my church most of the the women wear skirts and wear modest clothing (we do not condemn those who do not, but it is our conviction) but some do not have convictions or preach against wearing pants. We only use the Red Book Church Hymnal for congregation singing and use traditional Gospel music, but some use contemporary music. It varies on what region of the country you are in and just the individual church you attend. Hope that helped!
