Yuck ...

Lewd jokes aside, who gets to define what “Baptist” means? What is the objective measure by which one can distinguish the “True Baptist” from the base heretic falsely claiming to be a Baptist?

The individual congregation, reporting to Christ. That’s who defines it. There is no higher earthly authority or Catechism, etc.
The people who love organizing everything keep trying to pretend otherwise, but that the fact.
