This is a question for protestants, evangelicals, pentecostals, etc.?

I am an Independent Fundamental Baptist. I am not a Protestant; Protestants are those who broke away from the Catholic church such as Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, etc. Baptists were at the beginning, and were never a part of the Catholic church. As an Independent Baptist, that just means that our church(as well as other Independent Baptist churches) do not answer to any sort of convention, and does not receive money from a certain group or committee, as do the Southern Baptists, General Baptists, etc. I am not putting down any of these folks, of course, I am just explaining the difference. I believe that it is profitable to be independent, because then the church can go in the direction they know the Lord would have them to go, without fear of losing funding or whatever. Hope this helps!
