What is the difference between congregations affiliated with the North American Christian Convention (NACC -- a division of the Restoration Movement) and the various conservative Baptist denominations, (such as the Southern Baptist denomination)

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) June 9th, 2016

I have probably “overthought” this to the point that it is no longer very clear from a PRACTICAL or pragmatic standpoint.

By “North American Christian Convention” I am referring specifically to those churches that call themselves by the name of “Independent Christian” or ‘Christian Church” (en lieu of a denominational brand name) and which are part of the Restoration Movement—the same one the Church of Christ congregations and Disciples of Christ came out of (the most notable difference between Churches of Christ and Independent Christian being that “Christian” churches use musical instruments and “Churches of Christ” typically do not).
and
the conservative Baptist groups, such as the Southern Baptist convention, various Independent Baptist churches, (I suppose many independent churches associated with the “Bible Church” designation might be similar).

So, to Summarize: How are “Independent Christian” (NACC) churches different from evangelical Baptist groups, such as the Southern Baptists ?
