We could have different definitions of mainline. Mainline does NOT include Baptists, assemblies of God, etc.
Mainline Protestantism pretty much came out of the protestant reformation or were first generation progeny. We’re talking Lutheran, Anglican, Reformed, Presbyterian and their immediate progeny.

The only Baptist denomination that would be considered “Mainline” that I know of would be the American Baptist Churches for their affiliation with the NCC and the WCC.

And even in that list, there are sizable minority denominations that are considered conservative and still adhere to the Bible as the Word of God.
