Southern Baptist is a Christian denomination. Baptists view the Bible as the upmost authority in creating and molding a person’s life. Southern Baptist views all people as equal because The Lord sees no color, but does believe that the man in the home has the authority and the responsibility to watch over and protect his family. The recognition of Heaven and Hell is highly important. Those, who do not follow or recognize God, as the one and only are sentenced to an eternity in Hell, without the chance of ever reaching Heaven.
Baptists; originated or stemmed from German Anabaptists in 1521, and was founded as the Baptists in England. The churches or congregationalism are usually independently and self-governing.
Recently I was honored to conduct an interview with Pastor Mike of the Trinity Baptist Church of Reedsburg, WI. Growing up in a non-denominational home where when we were old enough we were taught to believe in who we find fit. I was quite confused at first and decided to pay a visit. From the moment I knocked on the door I was greeted with sincerity. Here stood a man who didn’t judge me like has been done before. I was lost in a sense. At first he seemed a little hesitant but then let me ask a few questions.
“What event in your life had brought you to such a great faith in God and caused you to choose Baptists as your religion?”
He kindly explained “awhile back, when I was careless and free I did whatever I want whenever I want. One day it was brought to my attention that my mother was ill, very ill. I prayed and prayed. I had faith; I felt faith in the Lord. If he the Almighty one could help me heal my mother or my pain inside I would forever be in his debt.” Although my mother lost her battle with cancer I somehow found the strength to pull through, to be the “back-bone” of the family. I believe at that moment he needed my mother but gave me great strength to acknowledge and carry on (Pastor Mike, 2011).

    The authors present their work of Churches as the way to help congregations live out their understanding of the gospel and their call to ministry by “reaching your community with the whole gospel for the whole person through whole churches” (59). By helping church leaders develop a vision of how the church should exist as the agent that drives transforming change within society, Churches succeeds as a practical guide for laity and clergy alike. One of the greatest strengths of this work is how the authors present 15 examples of real-life U.S. churches that they studied, all of which adapted holistic approaches and witnessed transformational results within their uniquely diverse communities.…

To do this, the committee felt they need to made additions to address the family unit and social issues. The 2000 Baptist Faith and Message detailed the roles within the family, the church and social issues and sexual ethics and Christianity.

    The Salem Baptist Church

    I have never really learned about Baptists, but I had heard a few stereotypes and brief descriptions of Baptist Churches; as a result, I had some pre-conceived notions and expectations. I had a prediction that the church was going to be predominantly African American since it was in North Omaha and due to a popular stereotype of Baptist Churches. Also, I believed that there would be a very loud, energetic choir. Thirdly, I thought that the pastor’s sermon would follow a stereotype I had heard and be a very strong, loud, shouting message. My last expectation was that the church service would be fairly quick with a few songs and a short strong sermon. My first pre-conceived notion was correct. As I arrived at the church, I noticed that my peers and I were the only Caucasians, as everyone else was African American. My next pre-conceived notion was also correct. When the service began at 11:15am, the choir was full of energy and singing extremely loud. This continued throughout the entire service. Also, the choir was so energetic that they also danced and swayed during songs. The third pre-conceived notion that I had was also correct. The opening prayer, which was not done by the pastor, was a very loud prayer that was full of strength. The man that gave it had a very strong personality and provided inspiration with his stern voice. The pastor also followed this method and shouted his message into the microphone. Pastor Dr. Selwyn Bacchus was very passionate about his sermon and gave it with full force. My last expectation about the service length was completely wrong. The service ended up lasting about two…

    God has given and ordained men who are to oversee the Church. Ephesians 4:11 states, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” We will be specifically looking at the pastor and his relationship with the people of his church. The pastor is a word that means “shepherd”. Literally a pastor is a shepherd. His job is too guard his sheep, love his sheep, protect his sheep, and cause his sheep to grow and maintain their health. He is to root out any sort of danger that may enter the flock. God has carefully chosen pastors whom he would deem worthy of protecting his people. The relationship between the pastor and his people is one of the greatest relationships in the whole world. This relationship will denote a sense of connection. This sense of connection will cause the people of a church to respect the leader God has given them. If the people and the pastor do not have a relationship the people will not heed what the pastor teaches them to do. God is not pleased when a pastor does not have a good relationship with his people. The same goes for when a person is dissatisfied with their pastor. Pastors have the tendency of drifting away from meeting their individual needs, and rather stepping back and focusing on the church as whole. This is dangerous as a pastor is to care for his people’s every day specific needs. Some pastors can be good administrators, some can be good speakers and take pride in their oratory skills, and others take pride in their effective promotion. These are all good assets which can assist a pastor greatly. However, the greatest office in which he should focus is in pastoring people. A church can tolerate average preaching and a lot of other things, but if they have a problem with the pastor it is a lost cause to try to persuade them.…
