Why would the pastor of a church which you have attended for a time refuse to baptize you?
Might Be That The Lord Has Interceeded. In Other Words He May Have Another Place For You To Worship Him. Right Path, Wrong Church And Pastor. LEAVE THERE AND YOU WILL FIND WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO BE !! You'd have to ask the pastor for the real answer. One possibility, though, is that he doesn't feel you have accepted Christ. Baptism doesn't save you; turning your life over to Christ does. Baptism is a command to believers; it's really only appropriate '''after''' you are a Christian, not before. Depends on the church. Some want you to take classes about their practices and beliefs before you are baptised. If they didn't give you a reason, the answer is pretty simple: find a new church.

I don’t know what other Baptists believe so I can’t know what is different except that Independent Baptists tend to view the King James translation as the only good bible and all others translations as lesser or even as evil depending on how and where the pastor was educated. As far as the other response goes I think is wrong. Southern Baptists formed at the time of the Civil War and slavery was certainly a large part of the South breaking away from the US as well as the formation of the Southern Baptist denominatio. There were other issues at stake as well. You will not find Southern Baptists today who support slavery.
