Southern Baptists Convention in America

Southern Baptists Convention are a christian denomination, who believe in the literal words of the Bible. What differentiates them from other christian denominations is that their baptisms require full immersion in the water, and believe that the christian themselves should choose whether to be baptised, rather than it being performed as an infant.

The Southern Baptists Convention is the worlds largest Baptist denomination, and the largest protestant body in the USA. In 2011 it's members population was 15,978,112.

The website itself clearly explains Southern Baptists views, and is easy to navigate around. It lists all of its churches in America and the list is kept up to date. It has daily devotions for its members to follow, which includes a bible passage. It has an FAQ section which could prove extremely useful to newcomers to the faith.

This helps to sharpen the definition of American Identity through it's determination to keep church and state separate, and they declare "Baptists cherish and defend religious liberty, and deny the right of any secular or religious authority to impose a confession of faith upon a church or body of churches.", which generally implies that they believe in the idea of religious freedom which is stated in the constitution, along with the idea of a seperation between church and state.
It also does this through its high family values, believing that man and woman are equal, but that man should have more power in regards to the ministries as the scriptures teach.
