Answer by  WiseTeacher (258)

Independent Baptists are a branch of Protestant Christianity which emphasizes the autonomy of the group, a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible and rigorous morality in accordance with Scripture.

Answer by  lonelywolf (2117)

The main belief is a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible, which is considered inerrant. Local congregations are totally independent and determine their own clergy and specific beliefs beyond that. Immersion of believers for baptism is common, as is a very conservative view of family structure.

Independent Baptists believe that the Bible is the sole authority when it comes to running a church. There is no organization that oversees the church.
