See below for a single example...I'm not saying it is common, but that the modernist/liberal interpretation of scripture from the early 20th Century has not been without takers among those who call themselves baptists:

(Harry Emerson Fosdick went on to pastor a Baptist Church that was more accepting of his views).
Also, From Liberalrev.com (liberal baptist minister):
Good job, 12strings!
Over the centuries there have been many cases of splits in Baptist groups because of liberalism. In the 19th century, Spurgeon fought the "Downgrade Movement," in which many Baptist pastors had become unitarian universalists among the British Baptists. Since the Baptist Union would not take a stand, Spurgeon eventually left the BU and became an independent. He wrote early on in the controversy, "The Atonement is scouted, the inspiration of Scripture is derided, the Holy Spirit is degraded into an influence, the punishment of sin is turned into fiction, and the resurrection into a myth, and yet these enemies of our faith expect us to call them brethren, and maintain a confederacy with them! (
The "Down Grade" Controversy, by Spurgeon, p. 17, written in 1887 in "The Sword and the Trowel").
In the early 1900s the Northern Baptist Convention was shot through with liberals such as Shailer Matthews, one of its founders. This resulted in conservatives leaving the NBC and founding the GARBC in 1932, then others leaving and founding the Conservative Baptists in 1947. Nowadays in the same group you have advocates for the ordination of homosexual "ministers."
In the south, the SBC was rampant with liberalism for decades, which is where the Southern IFB movement came from when 100s of churches left the convention. My grandfather wrote
Southern Baptists and Wolves in Sheep's Clothing in 1972 to document the liberalism. George Buttrick, who taught at Southern in Louisville at one point, denied inspiration and Christ's atonement and other doctrines.
