Baptists
Dunking denomination members
Baptists are members of Protestant Christian denominations that practice believer's baptism—baptizing only those old enough to profess faith, rather than infants.
Baptism is typically by full immersion.
Baptist churches emphasize congregational autonomy, with each local church governing itself independently.
The denomination is especially prominent in the American South: a Baptist church, raised Baptist.
Southern Baptists form the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
