		In 1996 the Government granted a public holiday to the Spiritual Baptist faith, to be celebrated on March 30, called Spiritual Baptist / Shouter Liberation Day, in memory of the struggle and in recognition of the Repeal of the 1917 Prohibition Ordinance of March 30, 1951.
		In the Spiritual Baptist Church there was no organisational affiliation or structure, and the faith grew with the blossoming of individual churches - "camps", as they were called - established as and when the spirit gave guidance and instructions.
		The Baptists suffered much persecution and prosecution resulting from the ordinance to render illegal the practices of the body known as the Shouters, and the order of the day was "beat and arrest, fines and imprisonment for the Spiritual Baptist".

		The Council of the elders Spiritual Baptist Shouters of Trinidad and Tobago is an indigenous religion comprised of twelve (12) Archdioceses, with many unit churches under its umbrella, and we are representing the interest of all Spiritual Baptist Shouters of the Trinidad and Tobago community.
		Missionaries from the London Baptist societies visiting the area in the early nineteenth century attest to the expressive and emotional nature of the faithful and it seems highly likely that they were practicing a form of religion now known as Spiritual Baptist.
		The Spiritual Shouter Baptists believe that their religion derives from the biblical John the Baptist and their name comes from the practice of immersing believers in water as a means of baptising of initiating them into their faith.

		The Baptist Faith and Message (1) Preface: The Rock Whence We are Hewn The 1962 session of the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in San Francisco, California, adopted the following motion.
		Thus this generation of Southern Baptists is in historic succession of intent and purpose as it endeavors to state for its time and theological climate those articles of the Christian faith which are most surely held among us.
		It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should be employed in exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private, and by refraining from worldly amusements, and resting from secular employments, work of necessity and mercy only being excepted.

		One of the very first acts of my Government was to declare March 30th a public holiday in recognition of the 1951 repeal of the "1917 Shouter Prohibition Ordinance" that had banned Spiritual Baptists from practicing their religion.
		Because of all the struggles that the Spiritual Baptist community has continued to endure, they are a shining example of steadfast faith and hope when faced with the bane of oppression and discrimination.

	Spiritual/Shouter Baptists of Trinidad and Tobago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The origins and early development of the Spiritual/Shouter Baptist religion in Trinidad are not well known but the consensus is that the religion developed among the people of African descent during the nineteenth century.
		This explains the four Baptist groups in existence on the island - the London Baptists, the Independent Baptists, the Spiritual Baptists and the Fundamental Baptists.
		Yet another theory suggests that the roots of the Spiritual/Shouter Baptists can be found in the migration of fundamental Protestants known as “Shakers“ from St. Vincent to Trinidad during the early part of the twentieth century.

		Baptists believe Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the incarnate manifestation of the Eternal God.
		Third, for Baptists the rule of Christ (Christocracy) is defined by the local Church as it seeks the mind of Christ through the examination of scripture and the leadership of God's Holy Spirit.
		While the Baptist goal is a Christocracy, Baptists believe that the best means of achieving that goal is through the democracy of the local church, not through the autocracy of a single individual or the aristocracy of a few individuals.

	Why Converted Church-Membership - By Rev. J. O. Rust
		Our contention is simply this: Baptist principles strictly applied would exclude from church membership all but the converted; whereas the principles of other denominations strictly applied would include in their respective church memberships some who are not converted.
		If after joining a Baptist church, it is discovered that one is not converted, then it is his duty to withdraw, or it becomes the duty of the church to exclude him.
		We contend that these requirements are the only true safe-guards for the spirituality of the churches; and being the only people who hold these doctrines in their purity and simplicity, we affirm that Baptist principles are the only tenets which will inevitably bring the churches to the New Testament standard of membership.

		Spiritual intimacy is crucial if Christian couples are going to experience all the blessings God intends, yet too often it is the one thing Christian marriages lack.
		A partner who feels spiritually inadequate may avoid talking about anything spiritual because he or she is worried about being embarrassed.

	Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is partly due to a loss of evangelistic zeal, partly due to drift of their membership to more conservative denominations, and partly due to the failure of one generation to pass on Christianity to the next.
		The central belief of Christianity is that by faith in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus, individuals are saved from death â”both spiritual and physicalâ”by redemption from their sins (i.e., faults, misdeeds, disobedience, rebellion against God).
		Through God's grace, by faith and repentance, men and women are reconciled to God through forgiveness and by sanctification or theosis to return to their place with God in Heaven.

		Their descendants are therefore conceived in sin, and are by nature the children of wrath, the servants of sin, and the subjects of death and all other miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal, unless the Lord Jesus sets them free.
		Also, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other's gifts and graces, and are obligated to the orderly performance of such public and private duties as lead to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.
		The body and blood of Christ is not present corporally or carnally but it is spiritually present to the faith of believers in the ordinance, just as the elements are present to their outward senses.

	Standing Up for Separation of Church and State is the Spiritual (and Historically Baptist) Thing to Do
		At the heart of Baptist faith and practice is the Baptist belief in the individual’s direct relationship to God through the liberty of the soul to choose faith.
		The Baptists, however, standing firmly by their avowed principle of the complete separation of church and state, declared it to be ‘repugnant to the spirit of the Gospel for the Legislature thus to proceed on matters of religion that no human laws ought to be established for the purpose.’”
		Perhaps the shift in the view of some Baptists who seek to tear down the wall of separation of church and state is partly in response and reaction to what appears to be outright hostility against religion by the media and much secular teaching and discourse.

		He even gives a word on compensating those involved in spiritual leadership as well as how they are to be dealt with in the case of open sin.
		Because we face such constant threat on the doctrinal posture and the discipline of the church, elders have an unceasing role of protecting the church from the adversary’s attempts to divide and destroy it.
