History
A title United Baptist appears to keep close at hand arisen from either 2 separate unions of Baptist groups - (I) a union of Regular Baptists and Separate Baptists in Kentucky, Virginia, and a Carolinas in the United States late in the 18th century and near a turn of the 19th century, & (Two) a union of Regular Baptists and Absolutely free! Baptists in a Maritime Provinces of Canada touching the beginning of the 20th century. Numerous Baptists in the southern United States were known as United Baptists, when virtually all northwards were known as Regular Baptists. Missionary Baptist bodies like a Southern Baptist Convention, the American Baptist Association (ABA) and potentially a bit of American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA) come descendent of the United Baptists. Churches in the ABCUSA retaining a title United Baptist come primarily in the northeast, especially Maine, and come products of the Regular/Free Baptist union. Of these local association of churches in a ABA maintained the "United Baptist" title into a mid 1990s. The total of churches in the United Baptist Convention of the Atlantic Provinces (now Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches) continue to utilize a title United Baptist.

Status
A virtually all conspicuously recognizable United Baptists come a unaffiliated local associations of churches that st& remained separate and distinct from either affiliation using any national or even general organizations. A Churches & Church Membership in the United States 1990 survey observed above 54,000 members inside 436 churches & Xxiv associations. about Xxvii such associations survive inside the United States, & it fall roughly in trine groups - One. United Baptist (General), occasionally arminian-oriented, open communion bodies that fellowship with more bodies (that come moderately calvinistic & closed communion) -- a common divisor is style of worship; Deuce. United Baptist (Landmark), moderately Calvinistic closed communion bodies that once nominally cooperated by owning a Southern Baptist Convention; & Iii. United Baptist (Regular), primitivistic closed communion bodies that were early con to Baptist missionary & educational enterprises, but that remained aloof from the Primitive Baptists. A big concentration one churches is around Kentucky. A resulting associations come believed to survive within 2003: United Baptist (General) Ancient Christian (IN,KY,OH) Bethel (MO) Bethlehem (WV) Central Missouri (MO) Centerpoint (MO) First Love (Within) Friendship (Around) New Bethel (OH) Ohio Vale (OH,WV) Tri-State (IN,KY,OH) Union (AR) United Baptist (Landmark) Green Flow of any stream (KY) South Concord (KY) South Fork (KY) Stockton Valley (TN) West Union (TN) United Baptist (Regular) Blaine Union (KY) Calvary (WV) - known as "Regular United" Iron Hill (KY) Laurel Flow of any stream (KY) Mt. Sion (WV) - known as "Regular United" Mt. Zion (KY) New Hope (KY) Paint Union (KY) Old Bethlehem (WV) Old Paint Union (KY) Old Tri-State Zion (KY) Original Old Paint Union (KY) Red Bird Flow of any stream (KY) Town Creek (AL)- "United Baptists of the Primitive Faith and Order" Tri-State Zion (KY) United (KY) Union Bethlehem (WV) Wills Creek #1 (AL) - "United Baptists of the Primitive Faith and Order" Wills Creek #4 (AL) Zion (KY)

These deuce-ace (Triplet) sub-groups of United Baptists reflect differences inside benevolences, (i personally.e. Sunday School) historical affiliations (we.e. Landmark) & worship styles (i personally.e. the capella vs. instrument).

Practice
A unaffiliated United Baptist associations differ from either a single a second in their views on the atonement, eternal security, & requirement of communion. It is fairly uniform inside avoiding general unions & conventions, observing the ordinance of feet washing, and preferring an itinerant unsalaried ministry. The majority of the churches tend to primitivism, rejecting the trained ministry, Sunday Schools, & potentially implemental music. Virtually all like natural a lake baptisms. Associations promote fellowship by "corresponding" sustaining (sending representatives to) more associations that it deem to become of "like faith and order".
