I went to a First Baptist school when I was young and the only real thing I got out of it was that they didn't make a big deal about the trinity (they did believe Jesus was the son of God though). They taught us that you didn't have to go to church every Sunday to go to heaven, you just had to believe in God and live a good life. The silly things they believed was the idea that dancing was unnatural and against God, and they were against Halloween. They didn't tell us it was evil on a daily basis, they just never had school dances or had Halloween decorations like some Christians schools did. (which always confused me as a kid)
Anyways, one day in college class I was talking to a girl who was the daughter of a preacher. I told her I went to a Baptist school when younger and she made a god awful face at me like I said I worshipped the devil. Then I said "First Baptist though" and she said "Ooooh" and look relieved.
So is there a big difference between the two?
