Baptist

Baptists are members of a Christian denomination emphasizing believers’ full immersion in water during baptism, symbolizing purification, death to sin, and new life in Christ. They uphold the authority of the Bible, prioritize individual faith, and often practice congregational governance, meaning each local church is autonomous. Baptists typically do not support state-run religion and emphasize personal relationship with God. Their beliefs can vary, but they generally focus on salvation through faith alone, the importance of evangelism, and adherence to biblical teachings. The Baptist movement is diverse, with numerous groups sharing these core principles.
