 Baptists
For Baptists, the church is essentially the result of conversion and of Grace, a gathered community of committed believers; it is not the mother of Christian experience or the source (rather than the effect) of grace, as in the Catholic tradition.
Many Baptist seminaries and churches are known for their liberal theology, style of worship, and social attitudes; and Baptists were consistently important leaders in establishing the ecumenical movement of the early 20th century.

 BAPTISTS TODAY  The Lighter Side by Bruce Gourley   www
Peter explained how early Baptists understood the Written Word as witness to the Living Word and the foundation for faith and life, and how they recognized that believers were priests before God through Christ and that faith cannot be coerced by earthly powers, whether secular or religious in nature.
However, is not uncommon to see a good Baptist swapping a piece of fried chicken for some Methodist casserole, although it took several decades for the Landmark Baptists to get used to the idea.
And most 20th century Baptists still lend a judging eye to their 16th and 17th century counterparts who wash down their fried chicken with something stronger than sweet tea.

Most "Baptist" churches were in the past founded on the sound doctrinal teachings of the New Testament, however, many of them have in varying degrees drifted away from many of the teachings of the Scriptures.
These true Baptists added the adjectives Fundamental and Independent to their name in order that they not be identified with the false practices and teaching of the doctrinally unsound churches using the Baptist name.
To call these people Baptists or Baptistic, in the sense that the believed the Bible and followed it as their sole authority for faith and practice, in the same way true Baptist churches do today, is acceptable, although it serves no purpose.

 A Welch Succession of Primitive Baptists
Baptists which believed in election and predestination, but also believed new birth precedes faith, are identified as Baptists of primitive theology.
Such practices were in contrast to the early Baptists of Wales in the Midlands, who claimed their succession of Baptist heritage through the mother church in Olchon Valley located on the Wales/England border, which is part of that area of Britain known as the Midlands.
Therefore, it may be concluded that the content of the 1655 Midland Confession satisfied the strict creed of faith and order to which the Olchon Church continuously held from her ancient origin to the establishment of fellowship with the brethren of Midland Association in 1658 and beyond.

The late eighteenth century also witnessed a resurgence of evangelistic zeal amongst the Particular Baptists, as a result of the influence of Andrew Fuller (1754—1815) and others whose Calvinism was actively evangelical in spirit.
The influence of the BMS led in its turn to the formation in 1812—13 of the first Baptist Union amongst Particular Baptist churches.
This process culminated in 1891, when the General Baptists of the New Connexion, under the leadership of John Clifford (1836—1923) amalgamated with the Baptist Union.

 Spare Change: Baptists Are All Wet
Baptists, I dare say, predate the Nazarenes, which come from the Methodists (which Baptists predate), which come from the Episcopalians (ditto), which come from the Roman Catholic Church (which I'm sure will cause a minor kerfuffle when I again say, ditto).
So despite a wide range of variable names, today's modern Baptists share a heritage of doctrinally-based persecution, stemming from a common believe that the matter of baptism by immersion is indeed an essential one.
There are other so-called Baptist distinctives that enter into the picture, and a lot of the groups that you read about in the Trail of Blood, as well as other histories, don't measure up.

This is not an original doctrine of the Baptist people as shown by the Confession of Faith in 20 Articles by John Smyth and many earlier documents but more a protestant doctrine.
The one other reason for separation from the SBC was the Millennial doctrines that were in debate by the entire Baptist faith in the 1960's and 1970's and their belief that corruption and liberalism had entered the Southern Baptist Conference.
These brethren also share the same origins as the Original Baptists and at one time the majority of their churches were also part of the SBC until the middle of the 19th century.

Baptists in those days were a puzzle to outsiders, they were divided into "Particular"—those that believed in particular redemption—and "General"—those who affirmed that Christ died for all men.

In its strictest form, however, Sabbatarianism was the creation of The doctrine of a group of Protestants which was introduced by Scottish and English Reformers – especially John Knox – in the 17th century.
Sabbatarians practised strict Sunday observance according to the 4th commandment of the Bible which forbids work on the Sabbath because it is a holy day.
Other Christians argue that the 4th commandment was a part of the Hebrew ceremonial law and not moral law, and that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, on the first day of the week, established a day of worship rather than a day for abstaining from work.
