On the whole they are very similar, although there's one OR Church about 10-12 miles from my home that is very Arminian/Free Will in doctrine.
I'm black sheep also, I was raised SB and most of my family still are.
rotfl. reminds me of a joke from a Philippine baptist minister I know about this competition on who can make a stubborn water buffalo run away. two pastors already tried and failed so he walks up to the animal and whispers: would you like to be a baptist pastor ?
the animal unngga'ed and ran as fast as it could, tail between its legs.
oh, by the way, Primitive Baptist.

Particular Baptist (Reformed Baptist, Founder's of the SBC is our fellowship and mission credo, but I and my church are totally "independent")
Background:
Originally Northern Baptist Convention (now American Baptist)
Then Conservative Baptist Association when the NBC headed into liberalism
Then New Testament Association of Independent Baptists when the Conservative Baptists headed into new evangelicalism
Then Fundamental Baptist Fellowship until they were hijacked by non-Baptist elements of Bob Jones.
Now so independent I don't even have much fellowship with my wife. :saint:

The Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada.
Each church assembly is independent and vary in evangelical doctrines. It was originally formed by pastors who served under TT Shields (Regular Baptist) and independent Baptist churches that formed on their own after leaving the liberal Convention of Ontario and Quebec and McMaster University.
Cheers,

I'm Southern Baptist, but am also a Calvinist with a few Landmark tendences. In my part of the country (West Tennessee, Western Kentucky), that used to be mainstream, but not any more.

Old Regular baptist! Most, if not all, the DoG Brethern would probably consider us the "softshell" side of the ORBs, in that we believe man has a responsiblity to answer "yes" or "no" when God draws. Other than that(that's a BIG other), the doctrine is pretty similiar.

There are a lot more Southern Baptists on the BB than I expected. Perhaps we should have a Southern Baptist forum.

I was raised in a Southern Baptist church, also in fellowship with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
I was born again in 1979 under the preaching of evangelist Joe Arms in Spring, Texas, but he really had very little to do with it except to present the gospel in a way that made enough sense for me to put my faith in Christ. (That was the only sermon I ever heard Joe Arms preach.)
Currently I am a member of a church that gives to the Southern Baptist Convention, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Baptist General Convention of Texas, and the Tarrant Baptist Association.
Since my conversion I have always been a baptist (lower case), along historic lines, and usually manage to frustrate lots of people because my theology doesn't line up neatly with any mainstream group I know. I don't play politics within the convention system and have lost interest in trying to reform or redirect the energies of any of the previously mentioned groups.
For what it's worth, I think the age of the Convention system (and systems like the CBF) are nearing their end.
I don't particularly identify with any of the baptist groups my church supports, so I'm just a baptist Christian.

My view of the sabbath can be summed up as follows, “one that is strong in faith, and has a greater degree of the knowledge of the Gospel, and of evangelical liberty, knows that the distinction of days, as well as of meats, is taken away … Christ the true sabbath and rest is come; and therefore, being firmly persuaded there is no more holiness in days than there is in places, has the same regard for one day as another.” [John Gill]
