	What Makes a Baptist Church an Independent Baptist Church
		It was the practice of churches of the New Testament to send out missionaries by and through the local church because they recognized the fact and believed that Christ gave the authority and responsibility for reaching the world only to the church.
		If it were scriptural for a church to redelegate the authority to another organization to send out missionaries, then it would be just as scriptural to redelegate that authority to another to baptize, to administer the Lord's supper, to exercise discipline, etc. The Bible does not teach or condone such action.
		Independent Baptist churches can strive to work together with one another so long as they are in agreement with their mission, with their message, and with their method.

	Tennessee's Pioneer Baptist Preachers - JAMES WHITSITT
		His membership was transferred to the little church on Mill Creek (1794), where he was ordained to the gospel ministry, in which he labored with untiring faithfulness and distinguished success for more than fifty years.
		He continued his labors with these churches from thirty to forty years, up to the time when the infirmities of age compelled him to give them up, one by one, and confine his ministry to his home church.
		Mill Creek, the only church of which he was now pastor, allowed him an "assistant," but the relation soon became unsatisfactory to the old pastor, who resigned his charge, and, taking a letter of dismission, united with the First Church at Nashville, where he retained membership till the close of his life.
