Baptists, specifically Southern Baptists, have long been known for being an evangelistic people. That is, we openly share our faith with others assuming their spiritual needs reflect those of our own. Often the contemporary term, "Evangelical" is either a direct or indirect reference to something having to do with Southern Baptists and their theology. Keying on Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, which has become a powerful force in SBC life, the all-encompassing and all-consuming ambition to "seek and save" the lost has permeated all aspects of Baptist theology and life.
