I’m not Baptist but have attended Baptist churches sometimes over the years.
It is important to note that the largest convention of “Baptists” is the Southern Baptist Convention. They do not consider themselves a “denomination” because every church is totally autonomous. Membership in the convention is meant primarily I think to help identify agreement with basic Bible doctrines.
I’ve never heard of a member church of the SBC to be called “Saint” anything. So I doubt this church is affiliated with the mainstream convention.
Also, any church can use the term “Baptist” in its name, or call itself a Baptist church. In fact, the Roman Catholic parish in which I’ve lived for most of my time in the Houston area is called St. John The Baptist.
I think sometimes the media maligns ALL Baptists by obscuring this factor in the naming. It is similar to how they malign Christians, Conservatives, or Republicans in general. I’ve even seen some media outlets refer to “conservative Democrats” when publishing negative stories about them, or “moderate Republicans” when publishing positive news.
This local news piece may include Baptist in the title with no ill intent, but I do think it is important that readers know what that means.
Also, at the end of the day, it is just one man or a few men, not the entire baptist community or baptist denomination that is at fault here.
