A while back we took a look at the Baptist Flag, a separated and sanctified flag for Baptists who don’t want to use the same one as all the other Protestants. Well, in typical fashion, some Baptists have decided to separate from that flag and make their own “more Biblical” model. So now, in addition [...]

The hallmark of fundamentalism is that they don’t approach a person or group with the question “how can we work together to further the kingdom?” but rather “how can we set a new land speed record for finding fault with you and then never speaking to you again?” New records are set every day. Of [...]

Since in some acrostics the last S is “Separation of Church and State” I figured I would include that one too.

Independent Fundamental Baptists believe that instead of having a plurality of elders, the church leadership should consist of two basic offices: The Pastor and His Flunkies (note: I am totally using this name if I ever start a band).

The P and I of the BAPTIST acronym can most easily summed up as the “We Ain’t No Catholics” declarations. For unlike the papists, every Baptist gets to be his very own [...]

While most (although certainly not all) fundamentalists acknowledge that the universal church is composed of all believers in all places and times, on this side of eternity Independent Baptists are theoretically dedicated to staying as far away from most other Christians as possible. The fear is that if too many Christians get together, they’ll attempt [...]
