Baptist
Dunked-not-sprinkled Christian
A Baptist is a member of a Protestant Christian denomination that practices believer's baptism—baptizing only those old enough to profess faith, rather than infants.
Baptists emphasize individual conscience, congregational autonomy, and the authority of scripture.
The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
As an adjective: a Baptist church, Baptist theology. (Lowercase baptist refers to one who baptizes.)
