As a newly Christian believer, i’ve been to both Presbyterian and Baptist church yet I don’t see a huge difference. Can you please explain in a simple way what’s the differences between baptism and presbyterian?
Currently, I’m going to a baptist church as the previous presbyterian church disappointed me. I am still building my faith and I want to know which one would be more better for me.
The similarity is the fact to which attention should be paid.
People get caught up in denominationalism but the truth is Christianity is in overwhelming unity and agreement over the core doctrines of the faith. In the non-essentials there is diversity and (hopefully) tolerance. Well-meaning Christians can agree to disagree.
For some reason I keep thinking that, Presbyterian's kinda similar to Jehovah's Witness.
Ironically, the reverse is closer to the truth. Neither the Presbyterian nor the Baptist denomination is anything like JWism. Presbyterians and Baptists both fall well within the pale of orthodoxy or mainstream Christian thought, doctrine, and practice. JWs do not believe in the Trinity. They do not believe in the inherent divinity of Jesus. In their theology Jesus is a created creature, the only person created directly by God. All others were created by Jesus. This is one of the doctrines that makes JWism a cult and well
outside the mainstream of historical Christianity.
I was being a bit facetious when I said Baptists were closer to JWism. It's not true. The reason I said this is because Presbyterianism is the older of the two; Baptists came along about 50 years after the Presbyterians.
The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 when Martin Luther wrote his "95 Theses" protesting then-current Church practices. The Church in Europe at that time was Roman Catholicism (the Orthodox Church was largely to the east). Following on the heels of Luther was John Calvin and following in Calvin's steps was the Scottish cleric John Knox, the founder of the Presbyterian Church around 1560. With the rise of Protestant thought came diversity that eventually manifested itself into various denominations, each emphasizing a certain aspect of sectarian thought.
Knox was closely affiliated with Calvin's theology. The Presbyterians emphasized a specific style of congregational governance, placing the authority of the congregation in the
presbytery, or elders. Hence the name "Presbyterian." Prior to this the priests held sole or preeminent authority. This was a marked departure in Christian practice from the institutional hierarchy of the Roman Catholic and the Church of England (Anglican or Episcopal).
Baptists, on the other hand, emphasized baptism as a necessary practice in the process of conversion. The first Baptist church appears somewhere around 1607 (working from memory here).
To complicate things further there are Baptists that associate with Calvin. They are called Reformed Baptists. They are the minority among Baptists, with the majority of Baptists in America affiliating with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).
Calvinism, Prebyterianism, and Reformed Baptists emphasize the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, and a
monergistic soteriology. Most congregations in the Baptist denomination side with Arminius and his
synergist soteriology. The rituals and doctrines surrounding baptism and salvation are the chief areas where you will find the Presbyterians and SBC Baptists differ. They are both Protestant denominations well within the mainstream of Christianity.
Jehovah's Witnesses are not.
