Since I'm not Baptist I probably should not speak on the issue, but from living in the deep south may give me some insight. Instead of speaking in theological terms about their faith, they tend to speak in terms of their actions. In being fair, that may be a general truth for the bible-belt, not just the Baptists.

One thing I do know, they are organized like the dickens. The other week while visiting a 1st cousin during a hurricane evacuation, I witnessed this firsthand. My cousin teaches a SS in a relative large SBC. When arriving at the church, first he stopped by the kitchen where a man with a list gave him a canaster of coffee with cups for the SS class. My cousin signed out for it and then he picked up a file folder for his class with all church schedules, prayer lists, and who's bringing what for the various events. Any church that I've been apart of would only dream about such organization.
