Baptists Are Different
Yes, true Baptists are different! We are different because of certain important beliefs and certain important doctrinal emphases. We glory primarily in the Cross—the redemptive work of Christ, but there is more to a true proclamation of the Gospel than that. There is a necessary presentation of the “whole counsel of God”, or heresy easily creeps in in other areas. Thus we affirm the so-called Baptist Distinctives without apology. Their advocacy has exposed the fallacies of others masquerading as New Testament Christians and has permitted the presentation of a complete Gospel that is the true full-fledged Bible Christianity.

Yes, Baptists have historically held to the Authority of the Bible and the New Testament, in particular. Many attending Baptist churches do not know what they believe or why Baptist is still an important distinction today.
The whole counsel of God is essential, including the Creation foundation, which many today do not properly emphasize as foundational to the Gospel.
