What are the "Baptist Distinctives?"

[baptistteacher]

How do you list the Baptist Distinctives? I have seen several ways, some saying "The 5 Baptist Distinctives" or "The 8 Baptist Distinctives." Those listing 8 usually use the accrostic "BAPTISTS" as a mnemonic device.

Biblical Authority
Autonomy of the Local Church
Priesthood of the Believer
