BAPTIST Distinctives T

Baptist Distinctives Leason 8T is for Two Offices In a Church – Bishop and Deacon. The Bible only records two offices in the church. A bishop – also called an Elder or a pastor – and a Deacon – which are both ministers or servants. The members of a church are brothers and sisters, and none is higher than another although there is a certain amount of authority and honor given to these two offices and there are requirements for the MEN who hold these offices.

Baptist Distinctives Leason 7S is for Separation of Church and State. Baptists have been the object of much persecution by Roman Catholic, pagans, and protestants alike.

This is not separation of God and state, it is separation of church and state.
