Baptists come in several varieties sharing a core set of basice doctrine. Some would welcome the infusion of such fervent belief, so long as no wrong doctrine from a Baptist perspective was introduced into the congregation. Others, not so much.

Baptists aren’t monolithic, many are independent, there’s a fair amount of autonomy. Then, there are the larger Baptist associations such as the Southern Baptist Convention, and even Baptists that lean somewhat liberal by Baptist standards.

I guess you have to know them to recognize them. Those that already lean to a more charismatic form of worship would be far more welcoming.

I was raised in the SBC, but I worship in a Pentecostal church. I used to say I am a Christian first and a baptist second, now I’m just a Christ-follower. As long as a church doesn’t violate my core set of beliefs, I can worship with them.
