The name Independent Fundamental Baptist Church is used
traditionally by churches which pattern themselves strictly
after the example of the early church as found in the New
Testament. The words "Independent" and "Fundamental" have been
added by Baptist churches after the use of the name Baptist
failed to fully identify what they believed. The name Baptist is
used by many churches who are not fundamental in their beliefs.
Some "Baptist" churches were in the past founded on the
doctrinal teachings of the New Testament; however, many of them
have drifted away from many of the teachings of the Scriptures.
Some of these churches have gone so far as to deny the
fundamental teachings of the Bible, such as the deity of Christ,
the virgin birth and salvation by the Grace of God, through
faith. These churches still call themselves "Baptist, " but in
fact they do not believe or practice what true Baptists have
historically The true Independent Fundamental Baptists have no
association or fellowship with these churches b
