TO JAYCUBB. YOU HAVE REALLY CONVINCED ME TO CONVERT TO EPISCOPAL. IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE ABOUT EPISCOPALS THEN THEY ARE JUDGEMENTAL AND ARROGANT. I HOPE YOU DO NOT REPRESENT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. JESUS TAUGHT HUMILITY.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, I LIVE IN A MOBILE HOME AND CONSIDER MYSELF TO HAVE CLASS. I HAVE TRAVELLED AND LIVED IN EUROPE AND CAN SPEAK 2 LANGUAGES. I ALSO HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE; SO I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE UNEDUCATED. WHAT COMMUNITY COLLEGE DID YOU ATTEND?

The "biggies":
Episcopalians baptize babies, Baptists do not
Episcopalians believe that Jesus is Really Present at the Eucharist - Baptist think it's a "memorial meal"
Episcopalians are Catholic - Baptists are Protestant.
Episcopalians have a standard liturgy (Book of Common Prayer) - Baptists are more free-form in their worship
That should be enough.

The Baptist faith is Biblical. The Episcopalian church has allowed the shifting winds of society to sway it's interpretation of the Scriptures and now it's becoming a church in name only.
2 Timothy 4
1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
In essence Paul was telling Timothy to preach like a Baptist so people wouldn't become Episcopalians even though those names didn't exist back then. And in case you're wondering I'm not a Baptist. I belong to a non-denominational church.

"Non-denominational church" my foot. That just makes one a Stealth Baptist.
Episcopalians do not be that every syllable of the Bible is the literal utterance of God. We believe that the Bible describes God's work on earth, often imperfectly and inconsistently described. After all, just read Paul's letters and you realize that he often takes one position in one epistle and takes a completely contradictory one in another. Women in the pulpit is one example.
Therefore we rely on reason as one way to limn God's purpose and intent in the world.

Episcopalians have some education and class. Episcopalians never live in trailers.

Episcopalians are real people. BAAAAAHptists are liars and hypocrites. Without exception. They profess a love of God and Jesus but hate his most valued creation, Mankind. They lie to get people to listen to them, they condemn people for doing what they do in public while BAAAAAAHptists do it in secret. I call them BAAAAAHptists because they are sheep. They simply repeat what the preacher said in church. Then they go to the next county to the strip clubs, and they lie and cheat all week in business.
