Are Primitive Baptists a denomination?
By most standards, Primitive Baptist churches fit the definition of “non-denominational”. We believe in congregational church government and that the local congregation is the highest ecclesiastical authority on earth and is responsible to Christ alone as its head. Fellowship between local congregations is loose and informal based upon common heritage and principles of beliefs and practice. The example of fellowship between the churches of Jerusalem and Antioch in Syria is a scriptural pattern for inter-congregational fellowship.
