    Either you do not know what you are talking about or you are against the teachings of the New Testament being the sole Apostalic authrority. There are spectrum of Baptist churches ( https://seventhdaybaptist.org/ ).

    John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    In James 2:19, we see that the demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God," but they do not believe/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and are not saved. Their trust and reliance is in Satan, as demonstrated by their rebellion in heaven and continuous evil works.

    There are many who profess to be Christians and believe "mental assent" that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ "happened" (even the demons believe that) yet they do not trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation, but instead, they trust in their works for salvation (at least in part).
