No, true Baptists believe in what the Bible actually says, not man made traditions.

No. True Baptists place their own subjective consciences over the scriptures.

I only need to point to the divide between the Calvinist and Arminian Baptists, and other subdivisions among the Baptist religion to make my point.

Theoretically you believe in just the scriptures, but in practice each Baptist is his or her own Church, magisterium, and Pope all rolled into one.

Show me where your sinner’s prayer or altar calls are, not to mention the rapture?

I’d say those are manmade traditions.
