Once upon a time, a Baptist got stranded on a deserted island. Years later he was rescued. As he was showing the rescuers his buildings, he pointed out that this was the 2nd Baptist Church. They noticed an exact styled bamboo building up the hill and asked him what that building was. He replied, "Oh, that's 1st Baptist Church, I don't go there any more." 😮

Once upon a time 10 men got stranded in a desert island. After a while, irreconcilable differences among them arose and half of them set sail for a further island. A few years later, more disputes arose and two of the men set sailed for a third island. Even among these two, disagreements came up and single man left for an even further island. But every night he could see the lights from the mainland, and wondered how he could get back. Little did he know there were people on the mainland waiting for him to come back too.

I have been Baptist all my life having been a member of two churches. Both line up doctrinaly and I would consider them the following: 1. Landmark, because we believe our theology is consistent and can be traced back to the church in Acts. I don't consider us protestant and not having come out of the reformation. 2. We are neither Calvinist or Arminian (Arminianism is just an offshoot of Calvanism). I would consider us provisionists. We believe in eternal security, although not for the reason as Calvinists. 3. We are libritarian freewill, evangelical, and independent. I enjoyed the video

[@redstateforever]

I grew up in a FWB church, the feet washing, which is usually once a year, is always an incredible experience. It’s so humbling, both to wash another’s feet and to have your own done as well. Always need lots of Kleenex on hand for that one, for the men and women, lol. Idk why other churches don’t do it (Jesus literally said to do it), you don’t HAVE to participate if you don’t want to, but it was always a time of real connection as believers, both to each other and to God.

I was saved and baptized in a small Southern Baptist church. Spent my teenage and young adult years in Baptist Missionary Association churches and earned a Bachelor’s degree from a BMA college and served on the ministry staff of two BMA churches. When I decided to pursue a graduate degree I enrolled in a Southern Baptist seminary and earned a Master’s degree, served on ministry staff of five SBC churches. I also was in attendance at the organizational meeting of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. I expected to see Southern Baptist in the list, didn’t expect but wasn’t surprised to see the Baptist Missionary Association since they are small and are hard to find outside of the Deep South. It really surprised me to see the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship as that organizational meeting was in 1990 so it isn’t very old. I commend you for your thorough research and understanding.

As a Baptist history nut, I was curious to see how you would bring together this vast jigsaw puzzle of Baptists in a short video. Did not think it could be done adequately in this amount of time, but you surprised me! This may be one of the best simple explanations of Baptists I've seen in a long time. I am one of those "provisionists" within the SBC, so I would only counter that the belief in the security of the believer from our point of view is not the same as the Calvinist "perseverance of the saints." There are some critical differences, which leads us to believe we have no agreement whatsoever with the five points of Calvinism. Some attempt to bridge the gap for the sake of unity and peace within the denomination, leading to key leaders of the denomination touting some commonality between the two. But this only comes from those who do not understand the full definitions and teachings behind the catch phrases. I look forward to more of your videos!

[@caman171]

I am a Baptist historian as well and I completely agree with you! I have even found several associations of Primitive Baptists who believe like the Provisionists, and were never Calvinists, as the history professors teach. They are a wonderful group of people. They did disagree with mission boards, sunday schools and music, but they have since dropped their opposition to the last 2, but still oppose missions boards. they DO believe in spreading the gospel, but they believe God calls individuals to go to a place by faith alone. Some of them still sing acapella, but its by perference

Great information. I was in an IFB (independent fundamental Baptist) church for 14 years. I graduated from one of their schools: Bob Jones University. It claims to be non-denominational, but all the churches on the approved church list to attend for campus students were some form of Independent Baptist or Bible Baptist. You could do an entire episode on fundamentalism or Independent Baptists because of all the different "camps" and I have to say it, "personality cults." While I was at BJU I heard what I thought were "rumors and gossip" about certain churches and the school associated with them that had to do with a lot of unbiblical and even abusive stuff.

[@OldManMontgomery]

I've been a Baptist all my life - was in 'cradle roll' when I was an infant - and baptized when I was five. I was raised Southern Baptist ; mostly in Portland, Oregon if that sounds odd. I've been asked this very question - why so many? - many times. The short answer is perhaps the most useful. Doctrine is pretty similar in all subgroups. The triune God, the natural instinct to ignore God and make our own choices, and the gift of God to forgive our sins as humans. There are some activity differences - like how often to celebrate the Lord's Supper (or Communion for some), or how often to have baptismal services. Of course the need for baptism, not for salvation but as an act of obedience and commitment is constant. (That's why they are all 'Baptists'). Some congregations have either a demand or preference for the KJV, some don't. Differences. 1. How individual church congregations govern themselves. SoBaps hold a monthly business meeting allowing all members of the church to attend, but not mandatory. That is to determine budgets, call a new pastor (if needed), vote on remodeling and those kind of decisions. Other groups have congregations with a board of deacons or elders as an essential governing board. Usually, all major money spending issues go to a general vote. 2. How individual congregations finance their missionaries.

I loved living in Spain in the mid-80s. The Spanish simply asked if I were a Christian or a Muslim. Sometimes it was difficult to break away from a conversation regarding Jesus and the Scriptures because of the thirst and hunger of those I would meet.

What I have learned is that the term "Baptist", by itself, doesn't mean much. I am a part of the Free Methodist Church and the term Methodist seems like it is becoming that way, especially with everything happening in the United Methodist Church.

[@litigioussociety4249]

Originally, Baptist churches were basically those that descended from the English separatist movement. Similarly, Methodist is historically associated with John Wesley. As you said, the more progressive congregations are really just connected in name only. I attend a Lutheran church, and that too has a historical moment with its origin based around The Book of Concord, but the progressive denominations like the ELCA don't view the book as strict, church doctrine. It's a huge disservice to a denomination for some churches to use the name in a way that does not reflect its historical definition or association.

[@Essex626]

"Baptist" by itself does mean a few things: 1. It means credobaptism, not pedobaptism. 2. It means an emphasis on a personal conversion experience, rather than an identity you are born into. 3. It means a broadly congregational polity, where the denominational bodies (when they exist) are conventions or associations which do not exercise authority over member churches. 4. Generally, it means not accepting ongoing sign gifts. Many Charismatic denominations hold broadly Baptistic theology, but are distinct in the belief in gifts like tongues and healing. Most non-denominational Evangelical churches are Baptistic, or they are Baptistic Charismatics. There are churches that hold to these things which are not Baptist, but it's hard to imagine a church that is Baptist that doesn't hold to these things.

Attending college in Huntsville, TX in the early 80s, everyone in town became well aware of the New Zion Missionary Baptist Church. We all had our faiths, but we all became adherents of "The Church of the Immaculate Bar-B-Que". This small, black Baptist church, with it's very old church house with peeling paint...started having Sunday afternoon BBQ offerings and started selling it. As a poor college student, it was heavenly to got this this place and get a plate piled with brisket, beans, and potato salad for a mere $6. As I understand it, they continued to grow and offer lunch and dinner all week Good for them!! The last time I drove through Huntsville, they had either totally renovated their church house, or had built a new one. I think they have the absolute best brisket in Texas, and it's a very good cause.

Very fascinating video. I was raised in a subset of Missionary Baptists that also call themselves "Old Time Baptists". They have a heavy emphasis on an emotional conversion experience being necessary for salvation, and reject the sinner's prayer. I think at one time they might have been Landmark Baptists, but the Baptist successionism doctrine seems to have faded away. Origins of all these Baptist groups can be hard to parse through. It's great to have concise videos like yours to watch and learn from.

[@timothyowen4503]

I'm very curious. My mom grew up in a church that sounds like what you described. Where was the church you were raised in? She was raised in Sweeden Missionary Baptist Church in Edmonson County, KY. I'm not a Baptist but was very influenced by stories she told me of her childhood. She never mentioned anything that sounded like Landmarkism. So if they ever believed that, she didn't pick it up. They also did not wash feet like a lot of Missionary Baptist churches around here (Upper East Tennessee).

[@mmeeehhh]

​@@timothyowen4503I know of that church in Edmonson county. That's just the sort of Baptists I'm talking about. I live in a neighboring Kentucky county. I once saw a copy of the trail of blood chart in a church basement of a Missionary Baptist church, but never heard it preached on explicitly or taught. I have a feeling that Baptist successionism is one of those ideas that is sort of slowly fading away, especially since almost none of these churches believe in formally educating their clergy. It's hard to maintain a belief like that if you don't educate people. As far as foot washing goes, that tends to be the domain of the United Baptists here while the Missionary Baptists have communion without footwashing. The United Baptists here have the same salvation theology as the Missionary, but have other minor differences.

@@timothyowen4503 I have a friend/family member that considers himself a Missionary Baptist and attends a Missionary Baptist church in North Georgia.

[@BrianRich1689]

All Baptists call themselves old time Baptists or Traditionalists. Independent Fundamentalist Baptists call themselves "Traditionalists" despite holding to views that weren't held by the first Baptists. Missionary Baptists call themselves old time Baptists, but they have their origins in the 19th Century. The oldest lineage of Baptists are the Baptists in Amsterdam by John Smyth who was a Particular Baptist (Calvinist) but he later turned to Arminianism (whatever that means since it's creator never finished his theology before he died) after being persuaded by the Mennonites of the Radical Reformation. In America the oldest are the First Baptists, and the Reformed Baptists (English/Particular)the First Baptist Church in America was founded by Adam Clarke and friends. Clarke didn't remain a Baptist for long, but he did found the state of Rhode Island, so that's cool. So the first Baptists were Particular (Calvinists) who turned to Arminianism. The Particular Baptists today would be the true traditional old time Baptists as they still hold to the Reformed View as Baptists. The rest of the Baptists hold to ideals that came much later by people like Darby and Scofield and a heretic named Charles Finney (Finney really messed things up bad). This departure from Reformed Theology and adoption of new and strange Theological ideologies over time have been the cause of cults, and liberalism within the Broader Baptist movement. And that stinks. But there you go. The OG Baptists are the Reformed Baptists.

[@nomopms1]

Spending most of my life in ABA churches, most of them were called Missionary Baptist. However, since there are many black Pentecostal churches in the South using the name "Missionary Baptist", a lot of Landmark churches have dropped the "Missionary" from their names. Growing up, I heard my grandparents talk a lot about New Lighters, Hard Shells, Calvinists, and Pentecostals.

Give it time, they gonna be as many as the stars in a few years, that is a logical outcome of the ideology of "sola scriptura".

[@joellewis6086]

@@TheLeftRbabieskillers There are only two possible relationships between men and Scripture; either men judge Scripture, or men are judged by Scripture. No matter how the argument is framed, there is no escaping the impact of the closed cannon that is affirmed on all sides. The Old Testament looked forward to the incarnation; the new looks back to it and considers it's import. Genesis starts the narrative of God's relationship with man - starting with creation - and contains the seed of every doctrine of Scripture, and Revelation looks back from the end of the story and the beginning of what comes after, and with a bit of reflection and study, you could deduce the entirety of the the fundamentals of the faith from Romans and Genesis one 1-3 alone. You can't assert the need for a unique, corporate, inspired consensus interpretation of the Scriptures without claiming to that consensus the sam force of inspiration as the texts which they interpret, but the inspiration of those texts was of a unique nature for a purpose that has now been fulfilled. Any doctrinal consensus must fall under the authority of revelation, and while the revelation is without error, there is no such guarantee for any body of interpreters across time. Personally, I think in retrospect that I prefer the wrestling over trivialities vs. central truths provoked by this cornucopia of Baptist sects in the Baptist faithful over a compulsory belief in the abstract 'inspiration' of a tradition over time - the exact nature of which I suspect has as many definitions among Roman Catholics and Orthodox as there are Baptist denominations. The trivial distinctions among the faithful will fade over time, and what remains in common among essentials affirming Baptists will be held on a firmer foundation than what caused the divisions at the beginning.

When I became active in Protestantism and left Roman Catholicism I was drawn to the Baptist Church because I became greatly influenced in the study of the Scriptures in the Holy Bible. Although I believed in the "Body of Christ", I cherished visiting and Corporate Worship with any Believers who followed the Gospels and Teachings of the Bible. For some time, I visited many local Baptist Churches in the Eastern Massachusetts Area. I was amazed in the different "Twist" of the Baptist Church which depended upon the specific church. The differences in Baptist Churches were amazing. Thank you.

[@justthink8952]

I am a Catholic and I feel sad that you left the Church. I believe you will have some good reasons for leaving it. Anyway, have you give a thought to the theology of Protestantism? Have you noticed that their ideologies were designed to counter the Catholic teachings? What type of spirit will inspire it? Bible alone and free interpretation of the Bible were designed to undermine the teaching authority of the Bishops. Abolishing of priesthood was to accommodate the teaching against the Eucharist and Confession. The doctrine of faith alone and the atonement of past, present and future sins by the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross was to undermine the teaching of salvation by love & mercy and the teaching on purgatory. It is nice to hear Jesus paid the price of our sins in full by his death on the cross. But then if Jesus had paid the price of sin in full, where is the room for salvation by grace? There was no grace and there is no need of grace if the debt has been paid in full. And if the doctrine of purgatory is false, when do final sanctification of a person takes place so that he is fit to enter heaven? It is at the moment of being born again or at the time of death or at the time of burial or after death? If it is after death, then somehow purgatory idea seem to be true. The Bible says, for without holiness, no one will see the Lord. The doctrine of imputation is also too arrogant. Does Jesus owed us to impute his righteousness on us because he bore all our sins on the cross? Which will be more appropriate - Jesus imputing his righteousness on us or Jesus cleansing us by his power? Jesus died for all. He had borne the sins of the whole world, not just for believers. So, if Jesus paid it all, then all should be saved but it is not the case. Hence, there is an error in the teaching of protestants. I wish you would do some more reflection.

[@itsdavidstube]

I found it curious when you described leanings of the BBFI toward the movement of evangelicalism. That sounds like a different BBFI from the one I knew in the past. My personal knowledge of the BBFI began when I was growing up. My father was involved in the BBFI and he described himself as a pastor of a "independent fundamentalist Bible believing Baptist church." Later he retired from teaching in their Bible college. My mother retired from working in BBFI missions office. More than one dinner conversation included discussions how the Baptist church was a continuation of the New Testament church. This would not have been about the Baptists in general but Baptists with specific doctrinal position that was derived directly from the Bible. This means that the Baptists who are closely aligned to the church that was created by the Apostles would be the only Baptists who measured up to what the name means. Whether we could trace Baptist linage from church to church down through history like some denominations do is unlikely. This is all the more unlikely due to the viciousness of the enemies of those who have been called Baptists, ana-baptists, or re-baptizers. I think if we look across the spectrum of Christians Baptists are more likely than anyone else to insist that the Bible is our only source of doctrine and anything outside the Bible is to be rejected. To be consistent this means that Christians do not need any writings, agreements, confessions, or canons by any other Christians to interpret the Bible for themselves. Through Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit we ourselves have immediate access to the words of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. As such it is unacceptable to think that God would have ever allowed the New Testament church to have totally disappeared at any time. These are some of the ways that we can discover what a Baptist is. It is absolutely ludicrous that we would have had to wait around until Luther to remind us of the role of faith in our salvation. I have never believed that the Christianity that we have now necessarily threads through the Catholic Church or the Reformation. We may never know how many churches or individual believers remained at any given point in time but no matter what that was God would have always intervened to keep the Gospel message alive. We see this pattern in the Bible described as a remnant or some protected group that often includes those whose righteousness will set them apart to fulfill the will of God. What purpose would be more important to God than Salvation. We have long passed the time when calling oneself a Baptist is specific enough to have a consistent meaning to not only other Baptists but anyone else. 20+ types of Baptists is stunning but given the goals of enemies of the Church of Jesus Christ this plan is perfectly understandable.

Provisionism is a term (afaik) that Flowers created, but the position it gave a name to is one held by a lot of Baptists but previously without a name. (It was also briefly coined "Southern Baptist Traditionalism.") For instance, in the SBC, there seems to be a majority that would hold to that position - Eternal Security but denying Calvinism. I think it may take a bit for people to realize the position they hold now has a name, but I anticipate more and more that the name will be accepted.
