Baptists
Baptists
are individuals who comprise a group of
Christian denominations
and churches that subscribe to a doctrine that
baptism
should be performed only for professing believers (
believer's baptism
, as opposed to
infant baptism
), and that it must be done by complete
immersion
(as opposed to
affusion
or
sprinkling
). Other
tenets
of Baptist churches include
soul competency
(liberty),
salvation
through
faith alone
,
Scripture alone
as the rule of faith and practice, and the autonomy of the local
congregation
. Baptists recognize two ministerial offices,
pastors
and
deacons
. Baptist churches are widely considered to be
Protestant
churches, though some Baptists disavow this identity.
