The Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) is a conservative Christian sect that holds primarily fundamentalist Baptist beliefs
. Many IFB churches are proponents of King James Onlyism, which means they only use the King James Version of the Bible
. The IFB movement began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among local denominational Baptist congregations whose members were concerned about the advancement of modernism and theological liberalism into national Baptist denominations and conventions in the United States and the United Kingdom
. The IFB believes that no one has authority over the church except Jesus Christ, and they reject any governmental authority over the operation of the church
. The New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) movement is a loose, growing network of approximately 30 churches in the United States and around the world that promotes hate and bigotry under the guise of religious doctrine
. Anti-LGBTQ bigotry and antisemitism are fundamental to New IFB ideology
