This continued into the 1940s, when fundamentalists organized the Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society on 1943 in protest of liberal policies of NBC's foreign mission society. In 1946 the.

New Testament Association of Independent Baptist Churches - New Testament Association of Independent Baptist Churches New Testament Association of Independent Baptist Churches (NTAIBC) - a national fellowship of fundamental independent Baptist churches. The roots of this Association are found within the Conservative Baptist Association of America and growing dissatifaction among its strong fundamentalists during the 1950s and 1960s. Certain members desired that the Conservative Baptist Association represent a more Baptistic and separatist viewpoint, as well as be clearly premillennial and pretribulational in its eschatology. As this movement grew, representatives gathered at Marquette Manor Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois in 1964 to consider a course of action. A committee was elected to make plans for an association. The New Testament Association of Independent Baptist Churches was provisionally constituted May 28, 1965 at Beth Eden Baptist Church in Denver, Colorado..

World Baptist Fellowship - World Baptist Fellowship World Baptist Fellowship - a separatist fundamentalist Baptist organization. The name World Baptist Fellowship goes hand in hand with John Franklyn [J. Frank] Norris (1877-1952) of Texas, a fiery southern fundamentalist leader in the first half of the 20th century. Though the rise of liberalism among Baptists reaches back into the 19th century, the fundamentalist opposition to liberalism came to the forefront early in the 1900s, especially with the publication of The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth between 1910 and 1915. The Fundamentals was a series of twelve articles defending the 'fundamentals' of the faith, such as the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth of Christ and the literal return of Christ.

These more progressive Brethren moved into the mainstream of Christian evangelicalism in America. Several events in the late 19th century and early 20th century, including the Bible Conference movement, emphasis on foreign missions, and the rise of fundamentalism, had an impact on the church. The Foreign Missionary Society of.

Baptist - Baptist A movement within the Protestant branch of Christianity, Baptist churches derived their name from their chief cause of separation from other churches; namely, their emphasis on the importance of making a profession of belief in the Gospel, prior to baptism (the rejection of pedobaptism). There are several views of the history of Baptists. One is that there has been a group of people who have held views identified with those of Baptists since the time of Christ's walk on Earth. Note, this is not the same concept as that of apostolic succession seen in other Christian denominations. Many Baptist theologians reject this claim for lack of evidence. Another view is that Baptists derived from the 16th century movement called 'the Anabaptists'; however the Baptists and.
Regular Baptist - Regular Baptist Regular Baptists are a diverse group of Baptists in the United States and Canada. The presence of the modifier "Regular" in their names attests to the strong influence of the early Regular Baptists on the growth of Baptists in North America. Two strains of Baptists emigrated from England to America - the General Baptists and the Particular Baptists. The near extinction of the General Baptists, coupled with the expansion of Particular Baptists, especially through the labors of the Philadelphia Baptist Association (org. 1707), probably gave rise to the Particulars becoming the Regular Baptists. Early in the 19th century, the two dominant groups of Baptists in the United States (Regular Baptists & Separate Baptists) effected a merger and dropped their party names in favor of the.
Interstate & Foreign Landmark Missionary Baptists Association - Association Organized in 1951 as the Interstate and Foreign Missionary Baptist Associational Assembly of America, this group is now known as the Interstate and Foreign Landmark Missionary Baptist Association of America. Their purpose is to encourage fellowship among Missionary Baptist churches that practice ministerial support by freewill offerings. Since they do not believe in stipulated salaries for pastors and missionaries, they are also known as "Faithway Baptists". Churches of this association originally fellowshipped with the American Baptist Association. A split in the American Baptist Association (organized 1924) resulted in the formation of two new national associations - the Baptist Missionary Association of America (then called North American Baptist Association) and the Interstate and Foreign Landmark Missionary Baptist Association. All three of these associations adhere to the Landmark principle of a succession.
