Can you tell me the difference between independent baptist beliefs and southern missionary baptist?
Answer Kristy; Thanks for the question. I believe this question has been answered by another one of our experts. I would like for you to read this expert’s expalination and go from there. Thank you for your question. There are differences in Baptist churches as to their affiliations, fellowships and conventions. While all Baptist Churches are autonomous or self-governing, they differ as to what missionary boards or groups that they chose to work with. The Southern Baptist Convention with about 55 thousand US churches and 5,000 missionaries is the largest single group of Baptist churches in the world. Most churches in this convention support missionaries through the denominational, International Mission Board which is administered by the SBC convention. Quite a few Baptist churches among Southern Baptists also support other missionaries and missionary projects that are not affiliated with their convention, but almost all Southern Baptist churches support the Southern Baptist Convention
