Baptists

In the Baptist church, the length of service for a deacon can vary widely, as there is no universal standard. Typically, deacons may serve for a term of three to five years, after which they may be re-elected or rotate off to allow for new appointments. Some churches may have different policies regarding deacon terms based on their congregational needs and governance structure. Ultimately, the specific duration of service is determined by the individual church's bylaws and practices.

In the Baptist Church, tables often represent significant elements of worship and community. The Lord's Supper table, for example, symbolizes the Last Supper and the remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice, serving as a focal point for communion. Additionally, tables may be used for fellowship, representing unity and the sharing of resources among congregants. Overall, they embody the principles of remembrance, community, and service within the church.

O yes, we do in fact we fell that a true Christian should not just celebrate Christ coming to earth once a year but all year round our heart should be filled with joy. Amen!

Tradition. It gives the preacher time to present the message of forgiveness and repentance. The alter call is the climax of most sermons in protestant churches.

Characters in popular movies and TV shows occasionally share the southern Baptist religion. For instance, two of the characters in the movie Deliverance (I believe their names are Bobby and Ed) showed many similarities of followers of that religion. The movie received an Academy Award for Best Picture. I know there are many other examples in popular culture, but they aren't coming to me right now. Perhaps someone else could fill more in.

As a Southern Baptist, I would like to think not. However, the Southern Baptists broke away as a separate organization in 1845, in part, because of their support of slavery. It is also true that many Southern Baptists supported laws that supported segregation based on race in the United States.

Of course that was many years ago, and most all groups have some embarrassing histories (if they are willing to look honestly into it). Southern Baptists as a group and as a whole are not racist in belief or practice.

Can one be a racist and be Southern Baptist today? Absolutely, as racists can be part of pretty much any group they want. But Southern Baptists do not have racist beliefs as part of their Baptist Faith and Message, and the vast majority of Southern Baptists today would reject the segregationist past of their denomination. It is good to learn and grow, both as an individual and as an organization.

Wednesday evening church meetings have been a tradition in U.S. Baptist Churches for over a century. Originally called 'Prayer Meetings,' they have come to be both prayer time and Bible Study time meetings in most Baptist Churches today.

Any and every person who does not believe in Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit.

There are several Faith Baptist Churches located in the United States of America. There is a Faith Baptist Church located in Port Washington, Wisconsin, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and Plymouth, Wisconsin.

They don't.

Baptists do not observe Lent with the same reverence that members of the Roman Catholic, Lutheran and some levels of Anglican/Episcopalian churches do. Also, it would be an improper use of the word "celebrate". It is more an "observance", that is, a time of reflection on the depth and greatness of Jesus's sacrifice for us.

The roles of women in baptist churches located in religious canons, and dated traditional documentation; all implied that they should not be allowed as ordained clerics or as pastors.

In the 21st century, the role of women in baptist churches were as Sunday school teachers, general mission presidents, treasurers, secretaries, clerks, choir presidents, musicians, nurses, ushers, deaconess (wives of deacons), and especially in the ministry of helps (kitchen).

The roles of women in the baptist churches have been botched both hermeneutically and homiletically. Women roles in the baptist churches were denied traditionally not to have no spiritual authority as clerics to preach from the Holy Scriptures, administer communion, perform weddings, or officiate funerals based on their unclean epoch or menstruation.

In summary, the roles of women in Christian churches have been placed in a horrible sexist category as a subservient idiot who is better off seen and not heard, bear foot and pregnant.

All Baptist is very brod b/c some people go to church just cause that's what they all do but the Baptist religon is strongly for the Bible... If they have a decition they go to the Bible

Welsh Tract Baptist Church was created in 1746.

Their tenets are based on Biblical Scriptures and their interpretation of the Scriptures.

I'm not sure what hierarchy is meant by the questioner. Rank or authority in leadership varies widely in protestant organizations of my acquaintance I would guess the Episcopal Church has the most hierarchy. Other churches of varying hierarchical structure would include the Lutheran Church, the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church, Church of Christ, Pentecostal Church, Baptist Church, etc., no particular order intended. Many local Bible churches that are stand alone organizations with no allegiance to a national or international group may have very little hierarchal structure. The Roman Catholic Church, characterized here as non-Protestant with no offense intended, may have the most levels of hierarchy. The Eastern Orthodox Churches may have much hierarchal structure. But for most if not all the organizations, the highest position is the Lord Jesus Christ himself who is the bridegroom of the church and the people of the churches are the brides based on Luke 5:34-35, 2Corinthians 11:2, and other verses. That is the Biblical characterization of the relationship between Jesus and his followers that is perhaps the clearest picture available as to what will ultimately count. Meanwhile, if only to facilitate organizational operation, we have one or more of the various earthly titles like Pope, Cardinal, Bishop, Priest, Pastor, Elder, Deacon, and likely others depending on the organization. Even the sexton, who rings the bell or cleans the church or digs the graves, or takes out the garbage has rank and performs important duties! All organizations must have structure. That necessitates some kind of ranking or hierarchy to avoid more chaos than might otherwise exist. But for any and all members of the organization, leaders included, none are worthy to inherit the promises of God, not one! Each man, each woman, needs Jesus the Savior, Biblically speaking of course!

Once a person truly repents of their sins and takes upon them the name of Christ, their past sins are remembered no more by God. They become a new person and figuratively have no past.

Depends on the kind of baptist.

I grew up missionary baptist, only the members of the church.

Also went to southern baptist, open communioun.

There are a ton of baptist splits, they all are different a little bit.
