Baptist-
Baptist churches do not have a central governing authority. Therefore, beliefs are not totally consistent from one Baptist church to another, especially beliefs that may be considered minor. However, on major theological issues, Baptist distinctive beliefs are held in common among almost all Baptist churches.
Baptists share so-called "orthodox" Christian beliefs with most other moderate or conservative Christian denominations. These would include beliefs about one God, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious atoning death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Christ, the Trinity (the divinity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, together with God the Father), the need for salvation (though the understanding of means for achieving it may differ at times), grace, the church, the Kingdom of God, last things (Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge everyone in righteousness), evangelism and missions. Some historically significant Baptist doctrinal documents include the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, 1742 Philadelphia Baptist Confession, the 1833 New Hampshire Baptist Confession of Faith, the Southern Baptist Convention's Baptist Faith and Message, and written church "covenants" which some individual Baptist churches adopt as a statement of their faith and beliefs.
Baptists generally believe in the literal Second Coming of Christ at which time God will sit in judgment and divide humanity between the saved and the lost (the Great White Throne judgment Revelation 20:11) and Christ will sit in judgment of the believers (the Judgment Seat of Christ 2 Corinthians), rewarding them for things done while alive. Beliefs among Baptists regarding the "end times" include amillennialism, dispensationalism, and historic premillennialism, with views such as postmillennialism and preterism receiving some support.

I am a Christian too, and we are not called to shove our beliefs down other peoples throats...don't know what church you go to, but mine doesn't teach that. We are told to remove the log from our own eyes before trying to remove a splinter from someone else.

As the great crab, I have no specific religion. Technically, I am christian. However, my beliefs are fairly universal. I don't go around telling people that they must accept jesus. I just accept the teachings of love and compassion and so on. I don't start telling people what to believe or anything. I just go about my life, enjoying what other people offer to the world, and what I can offer to other people.

I am raised Christian. But I actually believe in diffrent religions. Like I am not Buddist but parts of it I do believe in etc. but I believe in the 10 commandments karma etc. which are all part of diffrent religions but I also don't believe in some thing in religions like the seven virgins or what ever it is, or if you blow people up who aren;t your religion or kill your self youll go to heaven
but yeah so I am Christian/every other religion i have heard of. even some parts of the athiest religion make sense to me and I agree with =]

I believe in ALL religions that solely focus on worship of The One and Only Creator of the universe and all in existence!
Those are the religions that have no conflict with scientific evidence and facts (not theories).

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believer in him shall not perish but have eternal life...
The church is the bride of Christ.....The invisible bride is made up of all repent believers....not evil practicing people....
