Many similarities there, in fact, the original views of a federation of local assemblies / churches drew on Baptist ecclesiastical principals. Both the Plymouth Brethren and the Recovery began this way. Over time, however, they both morphed into a controlling structure similar to the Anglicans and the Catholics, with one ruler at the top.
The Baptist’s are fundamental evangelistic Christians concerning the faith. The flavor of each church determined by the leaders. Many Baptist churches are great communities of believers.
