how about putting the ABA statement of faith in there? I don't think it is the same as the American Baptist one.. since it is neither calvinist nor armenian

Just curious. With all these different kinds of Baptists beliefs listed, why aren't Westboro Baptists included in this list?

I know that one would probably say something like they aren't true Baptists because they believe differently. But all the ones that are listed here have different beliefs from each other, too.

I know that I had asked about Westboro Baptists before, but it wasn't explained in a way that I can understand.

Ok, this isn't a discussion thread but since you asked, just because a Baptist church carries the title "Baptist" it does not make them a separate entity. For your information, Westboro is typically associated with the SBC.

And you will not see a listed "Statement or Confession of Faith" from them.

Nuff said...

God Bless

Till all are one.

Where do we find it?

Here is the ABA website:

http://www.abaptist.org/home.shtml

I am pretty sure this is different to the ABC, but very similar to BMA
