The '''Baptist Faith and Message (BF&M)''' is the "statement of faith" of the [[Southern Baptist Convention]].
The BF&M is not a formal confession or creed, as Baptists in general do not hold to such (accepting only the Bible as their standard), and furthermore the SBC (being congregational in organization) has no authority over any individual congregation. However, adherence to it is required for SBC-sponsored missionaries and faculty members at SBC-sponsored universities.

However, adherence to it is required for SBC-sponsored missionaries and faculty members at SBC-sponsored universities. In practice, most Southern Baptist congregations adopt the BF&M as their Statement of Faith (liberal congregations adopt the original 1963 version without the 1998 amendment, while conservative ones adopt the 2000 version).
