Baptist Distinctives Explained

➡️ Are you 100% sure you are on your way to heaven?

Here at Liberty, we focus on the timeless basics: worshiping God, studying God’s Word, serving each other and seeking to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our pastor preaches from the King James Bible, and he is a true Bible believer; he believes that the Word of God is the final authority. The services are exciting, old fashioned style services where the brethren are exhorted and encouraged, and sound doctrine is preached unashamedly.

We still sing the old hymns, we still go soulwinning, and we still stand against sin. We think we’ve found something special at LBC. It’s more than a church, it’s a place where we feel “at home” and we want to welcome you to experience it too. Come experience liberty with us!

Which Bible is the perfect word of God?

Overall, this video corresponds nicely with the beliefs and practices of the baptists I have known in several states (U.S.).

I’ve never described myself as “baptist” (except in a context where I was saying I was baptist in the sense of agreeing with a specific baptist doctrine such as believers baptism) but I do have a suggestion.

I’m a little bit uncomfortable (and I suspect some baptists would also be uncomfortable) with you referring to baptism and the Lord’s supper as “traditions”. To me, biblicism and traditionalism are antithetical.

I’ve never called myself a methodist either but, when I was in my late thirties, I got a call from a methodist minister. I had been attending Bible studies in someone’s home and someone in the Bible study group had told him I was knowledgeable about the Bible. (Maybe they thought I was as knowledgeable as a baptist. (-:) When I met the methodist minister in his office he said there were only three members of his congregation who were “biblically literate” (his words) - himself, his wife and the elderly gentleman who had been teaching the adult Sunday school class for many years. Would I be willing to teach the class for a while to give the regular teacher a break?

I asked whether the pastor would prefer that I use methodist Sunday school lesson plans or develop some of my own.

He enthusiastically encouraged me to do the latter.

It took me a few weeks to develop some lesson plans but then I taught the class for three months.

There is more to the story, of course, but, shortly thereafter, I decided to move to another state. The methodists held a farewell meal in my honor. I was invited to sit beside the pastor who, during the meal, told me that, after I taught the Sunday school class, some of the members of that congregation had asked him to immerse them. I didn’t think I had emphasized immersion except to read Bible texts about people who had been baptized but some of the methodists seemed to agree with me (and with baptists) that the implications of those texts was clear.

Anything someone does repeatedly could be considered a tradition, I suppose. And I certainly don’t recommend dogmatism about baptism or any other doctrine but I do think one of the reasons for the decline of Christianithy in the United States is partly because so little of the Bible has actually been read during the worship services of many denominations for many years. No methodist pastor would be likely to refer to anyone who was raised in a baptist home as “biblically illiterate”.

I enjoyed your vids on exposing dispensationalism. Great work. But sir, if you are preaching eternal security then you are preaching the same lie of the serpent in the garden. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. The devil is fooling everybody the same way he did in the garden when he told Eve surely you will not die if you sin. Paul says this is actually a different gospel in 2 Corinthians 11:3-4. A different gospel is a VERY big deal! Please take heed.
