Many Baptists consider the [[Bible]] to be inerrant and the literal word of God. Baptists are often opposed to [[gambling]] and the use of [[tobacco]] and [[Alcoholic drink|alcoholic beverages]]<ref>http://www.abpnews.com/2885.article</ref>, the latter to the point that the "wine" in [[The Lord's Supper]] will be grape juice.

This is because ''wine'' in the Bible refers to grape juice which may or may not be fermented.
With baptism, the individual acquires authority to determine matters of religion and [[faith]] for himself, or as part of a local congregation of believers. Although each Baptist is free to define his own beliefs, most denominations will have a "statement of faith" which generally agrees on major doctrines (e.g. the Virgin Birth) while allowing for differing views in other areas (e.g. how End Times prophecy will take place). The [[Baptist Faith and Message]] of the Southern Baptist Convention is an example of such a statement; it was most recently revised in 2000.<ref>http://www.sbc.net/bfm/</ref>
