What is the difference between a Christian college and a Baptist college?

I know Baptists are of the Christian religion, but what is the difference between the two schools?|||A Baptist College can be a joint educational partnership / affiliated / sponsored with/by a Baptist Church or Baptist organization. Example of Baptist organizations:


* Southern Baptist Convention


* National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.


* World Baptist Fellowship


* Baptist Bible Fellowship International





A Christian College may or may not be associated with a Baptist Church or Organization but with other christian churches or christian organizations.





In terms of education is normal to think that theologic views / positions held by the college will likely be aligned with the theologic views / positions held by the organization the college is affiliated with.|||Baptists are a denomination of Christianity. Like Catholics, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Methodists, Episcopals, Presbyterians, etc -- they're all Christian. So it's impossible to say what the difference is between a Christian college and a Baptist one, because Baptist is Christian. It's like asking what's the difference between a tree and an oak.



Unless you are talking about the Church of Christ, or their affiliate, the First Christian Church. They are Christian also, but the name of their denomination is "First Christian Church."|||Matter of fact I am a Baptist Bible College grad. Yes, Baptists are Christians but there are differences between Baptists and other Christians. I can't speak for all Christians or even for all Baptists - but maybe this will help. Baptist can be explained as follows, and this acrostic separates us from many other Christian denominations.


Bible is our final authority for all manner of faith and practice


Autonomy of the Local Church (that means it is independent from all other churches - it does not subscribe to any convention or have a hierarchy run by man)


Priesthood of the Believer (I don't need any priest, I can go right to God)


Two Offices (the church has two offices - Pastor %26amp; Deacon - 1 Tim 3 %26amp; Titus 1)


Individual Soul Liberty (Every person has a free will)


Saved membership (you can't be part of the church if you haven't been born again)


Two Ordinances (baptism and the Lord's Supper are the only ordinances we are to follow)





I hope that helps. There are other Christians who don't believe these things.


S|||One was most likely started by someone who was Baptist and incorporated Baptist principles in their rules, policies, etc.


The other is a Christian college that would've been started by someone from any denomination (including Baptist) and incorporates Christian (nondenominational) values in their rules.|||Most baptist colleges adhere strictly to the bible while christian colleges are more liberal.|||A Christian college can be sponsored by any Christian denomination|||One is non-denominational.|||how about going to a "normal" non-brainwashing college?|||Baptists are more strict.
