Baptist.
The preacher at WhiteSand Baptist church, where I grew up called us "Deep Water Baptist". Never knew what it was.
I'm now a member of Pinelake. Even though we are a member of the Southern Baptist Association, the word Baptist is not on our signs or logos.
It's just Pinelake... it's not church, it's life.
Deadeye... made the reservation in heaven at the tender age of 10.

Southern Baptists are one of many groups that go by the name "baptist". Baptists as a rule believe in salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. They believe the Bible is inerrant. They beleive baptism is to be done by complete immersion.
There are other groups that have these same beliefs. The thing that separates or should I say, distinguishes the groups, is how they do missions. Southern Baptist churches pool their mission $ and send missionaries around the world. It is called the Cooperative Program. By working together the Southern Baptist Convention sends/supports over 5000 missionaries around the world.
The reason the denomination is called "Southern" goes back to the days before the civil war. MOST of the churches were in the South. Several years ago there was a brief effort to take "southern" out of the name of the denomination. It was kind of like the vote on the MS flag. FEW saw any good reasons to make the change. 150 years of history is hard to forget. The issue was dead from it's conception.
