What is the difference between a liberal and a conservative Baptist?
A liberal Baptist does not does not believe that God's moral law is relavant and applical for today and, as a result, does not attempt to follow it.
That is the main difference between the two. Consider the following verse, for example:
Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV) The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
A conservative Baptist will receive Deuteronomy 22:5 and claim that it is still relavant for today, a liberal Baptist will not.
Answer 1 was written by a conservative; Answer 2 was written by a liberal. Compare the difference for yourself.
By the way, conservative do not believe that God was teaching us to hate our fathers and mothers. Jesus is using a comparative metaphor. However, the sun actuall did stand still and the dial did go back 10 degrees.
Joshua 10:12 (KJV) Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Joshua 10:13 (KJV) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Joshua 10:14 (KJV) And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
2 Kings 20:9 (KJV) And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
2 Kings 20:10 (KJV) And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
2 Kings 20:11 (KJV) And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
Answer 2:The terms "liberal" and "conservative" have received a lot of personalized spin in the last few decades. So for starters, be thoughtful when asking questions like this and also when you interpret someone's answer. As it applies to most Believers today, conservative Baptists tend to interpret the scriptures (Bible) very, very literally. Sometimes this includes taking something very literally when the scriptures themselves are actually trying to offer a metaphor. Whereas liberal Baptists attempt to understand the scripture not only by it's literal words, but also in the context of each passage and the intent of the author--that being the Holy Spirit of God as well as the human being inspired to write.A good example is Jesus saying anyone who "doesn't hate his mother or father" cannot follow Him. All believers--conservatives included--realize He was making a point of the importance of being sincere in your faith. Jesus didn't really ask people to have hate in their hearts for their parents.
A less obvious example is from the old testament, where it is said that the sun stood still in the sky for a period of time. We realize today--they didn't back then--that the sun doesn't move in the sky, it only looks that way to us. So, literally it's incorrect. If something geophysical occurred of that magnitude, if would have to be the earth sitting still on its axis--not spinning. Of course, the appearance would be the same to you or me standing here looking up. But this helps illustrate why debates over "liberal" vs "conservative" can become tricky and even pointless.
Sadly, "liberal Baptists" and "conservative Baptists" have become terms in the last 30 years that are more political tags than religious descriptions. The most important common belief between those two vague camps is that God chose to become flesh, dwelt among us, and allowed us to murder him. That he miraculously arose from the grave on the third day and therefore holds the power of eternal forgiveness and eternal life for everyone who places their faith in him.
It's easy to get both "liberals" and "conservatives" to talk about and agree upon this. Most of the other stuff they argue about is not necessarily all that important when you get down to it.

Yes, the Duggars have stated in several interviews that they are Independent Baptist, which is a specific application of Baptist separate from the main body of that denomination.
Is Rexella Van Impe the daughter of Rex Humbard?
NO RELATION AT ALL! According to Internet Movie Database (IMdb) she was born Rexella Shelton . IF Rex Humbard was born on August 13, 1919 and Rexella on November 29, 1932 then Rex was only 13 years old when Rexella was born. This would tend to disqualify Rex Humbard as father.
Thus one might conclude that the answer below is not correct.

Yes.
What was the occupation of John the Baptist's father?

Can you remove a pastor from church who does not have a written agreement with the church?
Every denomination has different procedures for church government - you'd have to check your church's book of discipline or manual or whatever your specific denomination calls it, or talk to the church board or the pastor's superior; usually a district or conference superintendent.
Though a myriad of differences are observable at a surface level, underneath there is no difference; they are all apostate spins from the faith that God, the Father of Jesus Christ, has founded and continues to build. The Roman Catholic sect started the first major departure (Constantine is largely responsible) from the faith and though a number of protestant revamps have given rise to the nearly innumerable different denominations today, the basic structure has gone unchanged from the Roman Empire's version of "church". Truly the pattern of assembly that has been established, prescribed, and continually built by God is evident in the New Testament, especially the Acts of the Apostles.
Israel's Mandate:
The above answer is actually close to the mark. The most accurate would be that the "church" Christianity is an upgraded version of the cultic worship of the queen of heaven. Biblical Christianity, on the other hand, is based on the faith of Israel, which is the faith of Yeshua, the apostles, the prophets of Israel and the 1st and 2nd generation of Yeshua's believers, who were overwhelmingly Jewish. They were massacred by the gentiles who usurped the membership, identity, doctrines of the TRUE FAITH. They then turned everything around 180 degrees and made it all pagan and of angel worship.
The so-called early christian martyrs were actually messianic Jews of the 1st and 2nd generation.The gentiles who infiltrated the kehilath or congregation of Yeshua carried out this decapitation tactic to remove the Jewish leadership of the Congregation and made it into what we see all around us now: paganism, worship and adoration of the queen of heaven, a fallen angel. Christmas, Halloween, holy week, etc.
Roman Catholic answerThe Catholic church received the faith from Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Apostles. This is the church that Jesus founded, promised to keep from all error, to be "one" and to be with until the end of time. The Orthodox broke away from the Church in the 11th century over leadership issues, they denied the Papacy. All the other Protestant sects you mention were founded in the 16th century (Lutherans or other Protestants) or founded much later from the Protestants. The differences are the various things that the Protestants deny. The Orthodox deny the Papacy, different Protestants deny different things, that is why they have now splintered into more than 10,000 denominations today. They all can be traced back to a belief that the individual believer only needs a Bible, and he can figure it all out for himself.Another answer:
Yeshua's faith is the Faith of Israel. It is the faith that is founded on the covenant at Mt Horev between Israel and Yahweh. Yeshua said that he was going to build the "The Congregation", not found it. Israel is the congregation not the ones that the gentiles have pressed on us. If Yeshua' congregation is the 'church', then he is disqualified from running for the offices of the Maschiach of the Congregation of Israel. These Offices belongs to Israel. Christ means Maschiach in the original language, Hebrew. The Jews invented it to designate the person that Yahweh promised to Israel to be their Redeemer. Yeshua was sent for and to save Israel. He was not sent for the gentiles. He stated so himself to the Samaritan woman. The salvation of the gentiles is dependent on the salvation of Israel. No Israel = no gentiles = no humanity.
If Yeshua is the Christ (Maschiach), then he is the Christ of Israel, not the church. The church has no claim whatsoever on that office. The word Maschiach is the generic title that the Jews invented and used to identify the One who is going to sit on the Throne of David. The throne of David is the Office of the Kingship of the Kingdom of Israel. Where is the 'church' in this? Other offices that it reprensented are the :
Offices of the High Priest of the Congregation of Israel,
the Offices of the Chief Judge of the People of Israel,
the Offices of the Chief Prophet of the People of Israel.
What are the differences between these churches? none. they are all cults of the queen of heaven, most especially the catholic church.
Can christians drink coffee while fasting?
You decide what you are fasting. There are different types of fasts. You can fast anything. You can do a fast where you only drink juice, or you may only drink water and eat crackers, or you may just not eat meat and sweets. The important thing about fasting is the condition of your heart and why you are fasting. It is all about the spirit that you do it in. There is no set rule about what you fast or for how long. God will honor your sacrifice if you fast in the right spirit. Please read Isaiah 58. It will tell how to fast acceptably to God.
Can you be baptized in other churches other than a baptist church?
Baptismal services are performed by many religious denominations.
However, Baptists do not recognize any baptisms except for one performed by an ordained Baptist minister from an authorized Baptist church. Even then, if the person that is baptized has not truly been "born again" then the baptism doesn't count because baptism is a picture of believing and receiving that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. If a person didn't really believe and receive Jesus Christ then that persons baptism is not valid. Baptism does not save, it is just a picture of salvation.
Why are babies not baptised in a Baptist Chapel?
Because all babies are not born into the baptist church.
Baptists believe that you must first have an understanding of God and a belief in Jesus (accepting as savior) before you are baptized. Child baptism then is merely getting your kid wet, in their eyes.

Unfortunately, yes. In 1953, when he was fresh out of Crozier Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, Martin Luther King Jr. came to Calvary Baptist looking for a job. He preached at the church, but apparently didn't make a good enough impression because he was too young: He was turned away. King returned to Calvary Baptist in 1960, this time as the leading light of the civil rights movement. He was the keynote speaker at a "freedom rally" that drew a crowd of about 1,500.
What are the names of St. John Baptist de la Salle's parents?

What is the difference between Pentecostal and Baptist church songs?
Many Baptist churches use older hymns in their services such as many of the Gospel revival songs written during the Ira Sankey period. Some less traditional churches use choruses and more contemporary worship songs, which are very similar to those used in a Pentecostal church.
Another answer:
There is not a lot of difference. Different churches have different styles of music, even though they all can be the same denomination. The main differences would be songs that share, or do not share, in doctrine. A song like, "Nothing But The Blood of Jesus" could be played in any Protestant church. But a song like "Holy Ghost Power" singing about the baptism of the Holy Ghost, would not be heard in the Baptist churches.
So the songs will be doctrinally different, but more often will share more songs than not.
Why is there a church business meeting?
It is so that the member of the congregation can see how the funds are being used. The money the church brings in comes primarily from the members of the church, so it is a way for the ministers and church workers to share 'the budget' witht he church body. It can also help the members stay up to date and informed on random financial issues in the church. For example, my church is looking to build a new building, so the business meetings always include how much more money is needed to meet the building goal, plus how much is spent on local, national, and international missions and how muhc the preacher get's paid, and stuff like that. Other than that, just so the members can present issues like "We need to repave the parking lot...how will we raise the money?" or "We need to switch from hymnals to a projector screen and swap the pews for theatre seats, how much is that? Let's vote yes or no on it."
