	Baptist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Baptist Studies Bulletin, September 2002
		Controversy among Baptists is generally accepted as the norm, and the good news (or is it bad news?) is that denominational controversy is not strictly confined within the borders of the United States.

		Baptists should affirm the right of fellow Baptists to hold unusual interpretations of scripture that do not deny the gospel and the authority of the Bible or the basic truths of orthodox Christianity such as the Trinity.

	World Baptists not interested U.S. squabbles, Lotz says : Monday, May 23, 2005
		That sense of global Baptist unity was challenged last year when the Southern Baptist Convention, a founding member of BWA in 1905, withdrew its funding and membership from the organization.
		Last November, Kentucky Baptists rejected a proposal that could have led to direct ties with BWA and perhaps state convention funding of the group.
		But BWA is an advocate and source of encouragement to many Baptists suffering in countries where totalitarian governments or religious majorities repress their freedom to worship, Lotz added.

	Short History of the Baptists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The earliest of the irregular Baptist bodies—and the term “ irregular” is used simply as a distinguishing epithet, with no idea of disparagement—are various organizations that differ somewhat among themselves, but agree in holding an Arminian theology.
		For the most part this name was gradually dropped, and the United Baptists became simply Baptists and are reckoned with the “Regulars.” But in a number of States (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee) there are still churches and Associations that retain the name United and hold aloof from all other organizations.
		The Seventh-day Baptists are strongest in New York, one-fourth of the churches and one-third of the members being found in that State.
