I read it a few years ago and was surprised because I thought the evangelicals were. But I thought about it and spoke to some Baptists and I concluded that they were right. It might have been The Economist. It was a drawing of a tree with all the Christian branches and twigs. Very interesting.
It makes sense to me because both Puritans and Baptists insist that members of their church live their life according to what they believe. You can’t go to service on Sunday and then screw around the rest of the week.
But other people said it was the concept of the priesthood of the believers. That should be a mark of every Christian however.
Maybe some Baptists can help out.
Baptists do insist that living tje Christian life not just be a Sunday thing.
We have responsibilities to be a good Witness, to evangelize, and to call out evil when we see it.
Hth, ‘Pod.
Depends on which Baptists you talk to; my church, which is American Baptist, emphasizes soul freedom, and puts the onus of interpretation on each individual. Other branches, especially Southern Baptists, tend to be more conformational. There is a huge variety under the umbrella, and tons of disagreement.
