Independent Fundamental Baptists Explained in 2 Minutes

IFB Churches have several similarities. In this video we'll look at what they believe.

As an IFB type I was pleasantly surprised at how fair and even-handed this was.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB HERE, SO THANKS!!! THERE ARE A FEW MINOR POINTS WHERE INDEPENDANT BAPTIST CHURCHES DIFFER (ONE TO ANOTHER), BUT YOUR REVIEW STILL WAS ON KEY!!!! BUT THE BEST PART OF YOUR VIDEO WAS THAT THERE WERE NO JUDGEMENT CALLS AGAINST INDEPENDANT BAPTIST CHURCHES, A BIG THUMBS UP FOR AGAIN, GOOD JOB, LORD

I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist. This is great and accurate. Thank you for taking your time and accuracy in your presentation of the faith.

I prayed one night for the Lord to open a door of fellowship amd worship in my life because i was a very lonely Christian surrounded by atheists. The very next morning i found a track to the local IFB church amd ive going for years now and they have become such a wonderful family to me. They have taken my hand amd helped guide me to better know Jesus and who I am in Him. I pray that all those who have suffered in any denomination to seek Jesus through bible not man first.

I'm guessing you already have a bunch of videos planned.
But an idea for possible future videos...could you do a video or videos describing or comparing what it takes to be ordained in different denominations?

[LordGenesis]

How do you keep all these straight? Great job boiling down all the different beliefs fairly. Would love to see your study notes.

[professorjedi]

Have you ever thought about starting a Google Sheets file to track the differences/similarities between all these different churches? It would really help see how they all inter-relate :)

I am proud to be first a Christian, and then an Independent Fundamental Baptist. Good video.

Pic of Pastor Chapel! Nice. 55 Years as an IFB Christian. 33 Years a Pastor. I Enjoy the educational presentation of this Channel. Keep up the good work.

I am a Christian, but I told my wife I regret marrying into an IFB family. After several years, most of them have not made me feel welcomed, reached out to me, and place their churches, church camps, church events, church activities above family. The IFB religion and it’s subculture leaves a lot to be desired.

I am an Independent Fundament Baptist. This video is very accurate.

You did good on this definition! Thank You!

Excellent overview! I would add that IFBs have a bi-weekly newspaper called The Sword of the Lord, founded by John R. Rice in the 1940s and going strong today. It does a lot to bring a sense of community and continuity to the IFBs. Nice touch including both Chick tracts and Fellowship Tract League tracts in your presentation. I would also add that most IFBs are very anti-Catholic and are premill-dispensationalists.

I grew up in an IFB “hotspot” with a major IFB Bible college and a IFB seminary in-town and their associated churches that I attended many of in all of my childhood years. Both schools held very longstanding white-only admissions. The pastors of the churches I attended admonished interracial marriages from the pulpit, claimed dark skin as a curse of sin, presented actual pregnant teens to be chastised in front of the congregation (one was pregnant with the pastor’s child which is a whole new level), Jews and Catholics (the people not the faiths) were attacked in sermons and on the outdoor bulletin signs, and one even preached that the gates of hell were burst wide open for Billy Graham at his death. I never saw Christ through these congregations. I saw hate-filled doctrine indoctrinating sanctuaries of lost and scared souls. As an adult I left the IFB and for only that reason alone my own family will not speak to me though I continue to be a believer in salvation through Christ alone. Those churches were life-altering for me and I would be much the better for it if I had never been a part of them.

Thank you for these great and highly informative videos!

[Christian-fh]

I am so greatful for your videos about denominations. They seem very accurate as far as I have seen. It is not easy to find a church and one needs honest and correct information as to find the church one finds is close according to what is written in the Bible.

[lttlelight]

PCC alum here, this was definitely a fun video 😂

[Saratogan]

I genuinely wonder how they would understand Heb 12:23 "...the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of [the] righteous made perfect...". Any IFB'ers out there that can explain their teaching as to this verse? Thanks

[jamieseagrist]

This is a great overview. I grew up in an IFB church and school. My wife grew up in the Apostolic Lutheran church - a denomination that came from Finland! I would love to hear your overview of the differences of the two!

[allodosc]

I'm very proud that I'm born in this denomination. Let's keep this denomination endure forever
