Baptist Distinctives
Baptists are a non –creedal folk who are identified by certain traits rather than by doctrinal creeds. Claiming no creed but the Bible, Baptists express their uniqueness through a series of
distinctives. In this list the word BAPTISTS is used as an acrostic to discuss what defines a Christian as a Baptist. Slide31
Biblical Authority
The Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and practice because the Bible is inspired by God and bears the absolute authority of God Himself. Whatever the Bible affirms, Baptists accept as true. No human opinion or decree of any church group can override the Bible. Even creeds and confessions of faith, which attempt to articulate the theology of Scripture, do not carry Scripture's inherent authority.
1st Thessalonians 2:13 Slide32
Autonomy of the Local Church
The local church is an independent body accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ, the head of the church. All human authority for governing the local church resides within the local church itself. Thus the church is autonomous, or self-governing. No religious hierarchy outside the local church may dictate a church's beliefs or practices. Autonomy does not mean isolation. A Baptist church may fellowship with other churches around mutual interests and in an associational tie, but a Baptist church cannot be a "member" of any other body.
Colossians 1:18Slide33
Priesthood of the Believers
Every born-again believer has direct access to the throne of God. Therefore, since every child of God shares in the priesthood of the believers, all have the same right as ordained ministers to communicate with God, interpret Scripture, and minister in Christ's name. This is first and foremost a matter of responsibility and
servanthood, not privilege and license.
1 Peter 2:5Slide34
Two Ordinances of the Church
We practice believer's baptism by immersion because it preserves the picture of saving truth. No other form pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ .
Romans 6:1-5We believe that the Lord's Supper is a symbolic ordinance, picturing Christ's body broken for our sins and His blood shed for our redemption. It is not a saving ordinance, but helps us remember His death, and inspires us while looking forward to His coming. It is to be observed by regenerate, obedient believers.
1 Corinthians 11:23-24Slide35
Individual Soul Liberty
Every individual Christian has the liberty to believe, right or wrong, as his/her own conscience dictates. While we seek to persuade men to choose the right, a person must not be forced to into compliance, realizing that it is not always the larger group who holds the truth when, in fact, our heritage as Baptists has demonstrated the worth of every individual believer.
Romans 14:12Slide36
Saved and Baptized Church Membership
Local church membership is restricted to individuals who give a believable testimony of personal faith in Christ and have publicly identified themselves with Him in believer's baptism. When the members of a local church are believers, a oneness in Christ exists, and the members can endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Acts 2:41&47Slide37
Two Offices of the Church
The Bible mandates only two offices in the church--pastor and deacon. The three terms--"pastor," "elder," and "bishop," or "overseer"--all refer to the same office. The two offices of pastor and deacon exist within the local church, not as a hierarchy outside or over the local church.
1st Timothy 3:1-13Slide38
Separation of Church and State
God established both the church and the civil government, and He gave each its own distinct sphere of operation. The government's purposes are outlined in Romans 13:1-7 and the church's purposes in Matthew 28:19 and 20. Neither should control the other, nor should there be an alliance between the two. Christians in a free society can properly influence government toward righteousness, which is not the same as a denomination or group of churches controlling the government.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE: A STORY OF SURVIVAL
Through thirty and more centuries, he has wandered about on earth,He has seen far-flung empires crack and crumble,
and mighty peoples dwindle to naught…With their kings and priests, their tyrants and
princelings,They have marched over him in vainglorious pride –
only to fall and die by the roadside.
But he, the Jew, still lives on…
– Lewis Browne, 1926
Slide49
Who Are the Jews?
It is almost impossible to define a “Jew.” “Race” is not an accurate designation.We think of Jews as “Semitic,” but so are Arabs.
Many Jews are not Semites.Modern Jewry includes many races. Slide50
Who Are the Jews?
Not all Jews are religious.Christians are much more regular in attendance at worship than Jews.Jews are more interested in obeying prescribed regulations than in theology.
Non-religious want to be considered Jews.Judaism is the faith aspect of being a Jew. Slide51
Who Are the Jews?
The Jews are not a nation.Israel is a nation, but not all Jewish.Nearly twice as many Jews in U.S. and five times as many world wide.
Being a Jew involves a sense of self-identity – it is anyone who considers himself a Jew. Slide52

Israel
"Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago. You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba
, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store."
