| Learning the basics of the Baptist religion presented no challenge. Followers of the Baptist religion are members of Christian denomination and churches who subscribe to a theology of believer’s baptism, as opposed to baptism at infancy. Baptists believe that salvation is through faith alone, and Scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice. Baptists believe in the autonomy of the local church, and recognize two ministerial offices, pastors and deacons. Baptists practice baptism by immersing the follower into holy water, as

    Growing up as a missionary kid, my faith has been a primary source of discernment, and spiritual development. A large part of my identity comes my Baptist tradition, and I continue to be a part of this denominational affiliation as an adult. It was inside the walls of a Baptist church where I was first exposed to the liberating yet dangerous responsibility of the “priesthood of all believers” and “soul freedom,” and where I chose to follow Christ and experience salvation on a personal level.…

    In the Baptist denomination, becoming saved and being baptized go hand in hand. Baptism is important because it shows a public declaration of your faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ into your heart. Growing up Baptist, baptism was something I saw and heard about almost constantly. For example, I learned how John the Baptist spread the name of Jesus and baptized wherever he went, eventually baptizing Jesus himself. In my own personal spiritual journey, I naturally accepted baptism to be important, although never fully understanding exactly why it was. As a younger child I looked up to everyone else, deciding that if they were being baptized then one day I should be too. This was my belief up until I was 12 years old.…

    Southern Baptist beginnings were filled with exciting events. To capture this excitement requires describing Baptist beginnings in America, why the Southern Baptist Convention was organized, why some call it a different kind of Baptist body, and how it got so large. The story will go as far as the founding of the Sunday School Board in 1891, which was a very important event in Southern Baptist fife.…

    The Emerging Church

    • 494 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The movement seeks to rethink and reassess the “old” way of doing church that only led to discontent, and transform into a more effective and satisfying way of following Jesus. One of the first books to attempt to define the Emerging Movement says, “emerging churches are missional communities arising from within postmodern culture and consisting of followers of Jesus who are seeking to be faithful in their place and time.” Even though the movement has a number of “streams” of thought and practice, many of these, though not all, find their basis in two key beliefs – that truth can only be ascertained within the framework of one’s context and with the guidance of one’s community and that followers of Jesus should worship Him authentically and holistically. These two beliefs have profound impact on how the Emerging Church conducts itself and how it chooses to practice its faith. These beliefs have led to some practices that are to be applauded and others that should be condemned. Only by examining and evaluating the core doctrines and behavior of the movement, can one discover what the implications of the Emerging Church are for contemporary Evangelicals. While the Emerging Church is accurate in its assessment of evangelical orthodoxy…
