Baptist and Church of Christ....?

There are not a lot of differences.  The mainstream CoC generally do not allow musical instruments in church worship.  The other big difference is calvinism.  While there are some exceptions, overall the Baptist denomination is Calvinistic.  The CoC is not Calvinistic.  The CoC believes in free will and that God does not choose who goes to heaven or hell.  Calvinism says that God decides who goes and who does not, therefore Christ did not die for everyone but only for the elect (those He chose to go to heaven).  Calvinism does away with free will.  Calvinism also says a person can never lose their salvation once they have it while the CoC believes one can lose it and turn their back on God.

You can come to the Lord's church, the church of Christ is and has been around since it's beginingand is there for those who want salvation. We are not a denomination and never have been. We in the church don't baptize babies since it is not needed. Children are innocent just as Christ said and as the Bible proclaims(Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20, Matthew 18:3, 6, 19: 13-15, Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17, Romans 14:12). Below are a couple of links to help you I hope they help. Please take a good look at the link called evangilism update. \n\nGod Bless,\n\nChris

the reasone their is one denomination or another is because most people leave whatever church and start another with a more emphasis on whatever issue they had before.  The message is the same or should be.  God has those that belong to him and he will not lose no one!  Which means they will find their true path in christ.

Born Again Christians and Baptists are sometimes out there.  Especially the Westboro Baptist ones.

I'm sorry your church is divided over Calvinism and free will.\n\nThis probably won't be the exact answer you are looking for, but here goes:\n\nWe as baptists believe the bible...no more no less.  The bible says in Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with they mouth teh Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."  and in Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved."\n\nNote that those passages deal with salvation, but it doesn't add in there.."the elect".   The scripture says WHOSOEVER...\n\nThere is also a part of scripture that says we are the elect.  That's what Calivinism is built off of...predestination.\n\nGod sent Christ down to die for us and offer salvation to everyone in the world.  His elect..are those who follow Him and become saved.  We are given a free will to turn it down...we don't HAVE to get saved...but we're idiots if we don't.  Calvinism says only a select few will go to heaven and the rest are out of luck...which is wrong.  It puts glory on man..."I'm one of the elect, I'm going to heaven, you're going to hell" type attitude.  And this belief stops people from going out to the world and sharing Jesus with those who need Him.  The bible tells us to go spread the gospel to all who will hear.  Many people get saved every day...and become part of the elect.\n\nDon't fall for the Calvinism stuff...it is built on glorification of man, not of Jesus.  There is a church in Kansas that is heavily into that and they are so depraved they picket military funerals and call ALL soldiers who die fags and other hatefilled names.  Don't sink to that level..stand for what the bible says....whosoever...not "whosoever of the elect"...  Stand for the bible, not Calvin's doctrines.  Jesus's teachings far out live Calvin's...go by His word. ;)

A Baptist accepts what Jesus did, and has a personal relationship with Him.  They dedicate their babies to the Lord; they don't baptize them.  People are baptized only after accepting Jesus.  I believe most other religions have infant baptism and confirmation (which isn't in the Bible).

One of the main differences is that Lutherans believe in infant baptism and Baptists believe in waiting until the child is older. Also, the Baptists in the church across from my house have the women wear skirts all the time. They also strongly suggest tithing (giving ten percent of your income to the church) and abstain from dancing and drinking alcohol.

The bible is designed for anyone to read it... but it can be hard to follow.. that's why we have churches. Just beware of the churches that bash every other church and "enforce" THEIR rules (most baptist churches)

Christianity is a religion.  What you listed are denominations within "Christianity".

Wow, there's a question that requires a book to answer! :)\n\nI would recommend a webpage like this one:\n\nhttp://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_10000.html\n\nI can answer questions about all the Christianity-related ones (Chrstian, which includes also Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal). Feel free to send me an e-mail if you want the long version!

I've attached a link as a source to help you begin your search but I think it's going to be like looking for needle in a haystack.  I can tell you (as can anyone else) that Jesus Christ began Christianity but as far as who began all the differences (Catholic vs. Protestant vs. Baptist, etc), I have no clue.  It's just different interpretations of the Bible.

At the gym where I work out, I was speaking to a woman I know there.  She's Baptist and she mentioned spoke of preparing for Ash Wednesday and Lent and such.  \n\nI don't know what denomination of Baptist she is, so maybe whether Baptists celebrate Lent depends on the type of Baptist they are.

I was born a Methodist and my father was a Methodist pastor. On March 21, 1970 I became a Christian, but I did not become a Baptist until I was Baptized and voted into the membership of the church.  Even though you believe what the Baptist believes you are not a member until you are baptized and voted into the church. In most Baptist churches baptism after salvation is the next step to church membership.  In some churches they require classes before baptism and membership to make sure that you understand what you are doing.  Talk to the Pastor of the church you want to join and he can fill you in on the details.\n\nMost Baptist Pastors will not baptized unless you want to become a member of the church.  Baptism is a church ordinance and is to be done by the church. \nIn Acts they were baptized and what? Added to the church!\nActs 2:41 -\nThen they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Hi there,\n\nHere is a link for info on Baptist History.\n\nhttp://www.bible-truth.org/fundbapt.htm

Christ is the way, the living Word.\nAbout 1990.\nIt's not a religion, it'a a reality, we are sinners and fall short. We need Christ's forgiveness, that's the reality.\nNo my parents were baptists and very little of God's Word was taught.\nGod's Word is His Spirit, His emotions, His thoughts. You have to study it not read it. There are levels of understanding. It grows in your mind.
