Answer 1

Baptists cover the entire theological spectrum. Historically, Baptists support the separation of Chruch and state, although conservative Baptists, like many in the Southern Baptist Convention, have softened that stance considerably.

My type of Baptist has identified "four fragile freedoms" that we believe are fundamental to our faith. These freedoms, which have been under attack for nearly 20 years, have been well defined by Walter Shurden at Mercer University. Shurden says the first freedom is Bible Freedom, the historic Baptist affirmation that the Bible, under the Lordship of Christ, must be central in the life of the individual and church and that Christians, with the best as most scholarly tools of inquiry, are both free and obligated to study and obey the scripture. The second freedom is soul freedom: the inalienable right and responsibility of every person to deal with God without the imposition of creed, the interference of clergy, or the intervention of civil government. The third freedom is church freedom: the Baptist affirmation that local churches are free, under the Lordship of Christ to determine their membership and leadership, to order their worship and work, to ordain whom they perceive as gifted for ministry, male or female, and to participate in the larger Body of Christ, of whose unity and mission Baptists are proudly a part. The final freedom is Religious freedom: the Baptist affirmation of freedom OF religion, freedom FOR religion, and freedom FROM religion, insisting that Caesar is not Christ and Christ is not Caesar.

Answer 2

A loving God didn't seperate government and religion. Baptists are evil along with the rest of the world. Everyone has a hateful side, but Christians (including Baptists) have Jesus Christ's blood to cover those sins. I am Baptist and I don't hate anyone. Even people who have broken my heart in unimaginable ways. And I am NOT going to hell.

Answer 3

Denominations have nothing to do with salvation.
Baptists are evil-you mean people.
Any person can be evil.
1200 different major denominations and only one Christ?
Many people are side tracked.
Get your house in order-get your heart and mind on Jesus and
only Christ can save you. Not Baptist-not religion-not a church-not a preacher-not the pope-nor the mother mary-not any prayer beads-just Christ. Believe and you will be saved. Apostle Paul preached that almost 2000 years ago and not one word has changed since-believe and you will be saved. 1 COR chap 15 is the salvation chapter.

Answer 4

The USA's government is based on Christianity. There is nothing in our laws about "separation of church and state" even though it is often quoted. Hate is against the Baptist religion. I was raised Baptist in a small church. It was a very basic religion teaching the Bible. Now, there are different versions of being Baptist. However, some people of all religions will go to hell because they do not follow Christian principles.

Answer 5

With every group on this planet, there are extremists and moderates. Certain Christian denominations have emerged as front runners for the extremist position, flaunting their views, making their voices heard. Personally, I believe that it's God's decision to determine who and who isn't evil. Simply because people associate themselves with religion, God is not guilty of their actions by association. As for mixing government with religion, trying to legislate morality will run its course. However, I'm curious as to why you are afraid baptists will go to hell. Again, that's God's decision to make, and the only answer I can give to that question is "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

Now, if what any person does, whether Baptist or Jew or Muslim or Wiccan or Atheist, falls under that category, they're tight with God. If what they do doesn't fall in that category, then there is work to be done if they want to be tight with God. If they don't want to be tight with God, don't worry about it.

Hope that helps.

Answer 6

What religion are you?? How is mixing govmt. and religion evil anyways? You really need to get your facts straight, because you obviouslt have no idea what you are talking about. Dont rip on baptists if you arent willing to look at all the other religions shortcomings as well...

Answer 7

No! There are true believers in every faith. And Mr. Fred Phelps is a false prophet. Notice I did not say THE false prophet. He is one to laugh at. He says he is spreading the GOSPEL. However, the word gospel means good news. That is definitely NOT good news. The fact that he uses that word 1000 times shows the world something. That something definitely isn't Christ. So please do not believe that he represents Christ in any way.

Answer 8

The God of the New Testament is the same as the God of the Old Testament. The Bible says that He never changes. He is just as merciful in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament. Read Nehemiah 9 for a summary of how God mercifully forgave Israel, again and again, after they repeatedly sinned and turned their back on Him. The psalms often speak of God’s mercy poured out on sinners.

He is also just as wrath-filled in the New Testament as He is in the Old. He killed a husband and wife in the Book of Acts, simply because they told one lie. Jesus warned that He was to be feared because He has the power to cast the body and soul into hell. The apostle Paul said that he persuaded men to come to the Savior because he knew the "terror of the Lord." Read the dreadful judgments of the New Testament’s Book of Revelation. That will put the "fear of God" in you, which incidentally is "the beginning of wisdom."

Perhaps the most fearful display of His wrath is seen in the cross of Jesus Christ. His fury so came upon the Messiah that it seems God enshrouded the face of Jesus in darkness so that creation couldn’t gaze upon His unspeakable agony. Whether we like it or not, our God is a consuming fire of holiness (Hebrews 12:29). He isn’t going to change, so we had better ...before the Day of Judgment. If we repent, God, in His mercy, will forgive us and grant us eternal life in heaven with Him.

Answer 9

No they are not, I am a baptist. at my church we do not mix government and religion, we pray for are governments leaders that they would do God's will, and we pray for the troops and there family's, to bring them home safely.
