Independent Baptist
Independent Baptist churches (also called Independent Fundamental Baptists or IFB) are Christian congregations that generally hold to fundamentalist or conservative views of Evangelical Christianity and Baptist beliefs, such as believer's baptism, individual soul liberty and the priesthood of all believers. The term “independent” refers to the doctrinal position of church autonomy and a refusal to join any affiliated Baptist denominations or non-Baptist association, though they usually maintain some sort of fellowship with like-minded churches. As Fundamentalists, these churches are strongly opposed to the ecumenical movement. Around 3% of the United States adult population belongs to the Independent Baptist movement, half of whom live in the Southern United States. History The modern Independent Baptist movement began in the early 20th century among local Baptist congregations whose members were concerned about the advancement of modernism or theological liberalism i ...
