The American Baptist and the Southern Baptists have a heirarchy of sorts, but Phelps is a “Primitive Baptist” and they are independent.

He is also a Calvinist, which is unusual for Baptists.

I don't know anything about the American Baptists but I can assure you, that the "hierarchy" stops at the Minister of the local church, within the Southern Baptist Convention.

Southern Baptists are autonomous and about half the member churches of the S.B.C. are "Calvinists", as is my church.
