What is a southern babtist?

A Southern Baptist is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), one of the largest Protestant denominations in the United States. Founded in 1845, the SBC emphasizes biblical authority, salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and the importance of evangelism and missions. Southern Baptists typically practice believer's baptism by immersion and uphold a congregationalist form of church governance. The denomination has a distinct cultural and theological identity, often associated with conservative values.
