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!

∙ 13y agoIn the beginning all Baptist churches were just Baptist churches. In the United States, various churches that fellowshiped with each other formed association, fellowships, and conventions. A Baptist church that joined a particular association, fellowship, or convention would identify itself with the organization that it joined. For example, the "Southern Baptist Convention" or the "Bible Baptist Fellowship." Churches that did not join any of these external organizations were called "independent" meaning that they remained independent of an external church organization.

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.
