A Baptist is a Protestant.

Martin Luther (not King) stated a list of "protestations" on a church door. At the time Catholicism was the main form of Christianity. This of course angered the current church, but more importantly set off a spark for a ton of new religions. All of these religions were grouped as "Protestants", because they protested the Catholic church. The Baptist church is simply a further sect of the Protestant "church".

A protestant could be so many things today and Baptist believe In the Bible Is the truth the light and the way,a lot of protestant churchs do not always believe or abide by the Bible and Jesus Christ Is not the center of there church.

all baptists are protestants, but not all protestants are baptists.
-Protestantism: This is composed of a group of independent denominations, sects, and independent churches numbering in excess of 30,000 worldwide. They trace their history back to the Reformation which was triggered when Martin Luther circulated 95 theses in which he listed what he considered to be faults in the Roman Catholic Church -- both theological and in its policies. Protestant denominations have been grouped into 13 families, according to their historical roots. There are over 1,000 Protestant denominations in North America, ranging from extreme Fundamentalist to very Liberal. Included are such diverse groups as Quakers, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian Scientists. 2 Most are democratically organized.

Protestant refers to a group of denominations and basically means Christian, but not Catholic - Baptist is just one of the sub-groups in the Protestant family along with Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, etc. etc. etc.

Baptists believe that once saved you can not ever lose that salvation. Not all protestants have this belief.
