Some Baptist churches no longer believe the Baptist Distinctives but have not updated their sign. Do your homework before you join a church.
You become a Christian by believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. You become a Baptist by believing the rest of the Bible. Become a student of the Bible and enjoy the confidence and blessings that come from knowing God through His Word.
Baptist Distinctives are essential Bible doctrines that make Baptist churches different from all the others.
When it comes to salvation, the only thing that matters is your saving faith in Jesus Christ. However, when it comes to Christian growth and training, it matters what church you attend. Many believers are wasting away in churches (even Baptist) that are hindering their Christian growth and effectiveness.
Satan can’t take away your salvation, but he can take away your testimony and paralyze your ministry. Don’t let him. Not all Baptist Churches are equal.
Join a Bible-preaching, soulwinning, and separated Baptist Church and get busy for God!
