A Protestant group that uses the Bible as the only guide and baptizes by putting people fully into water
Surface Forms
Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'Baptist(s)' names a Christian group and 'church' names a Christian body, so together they denote a church associated with Baptists. Although doctrinal details (e.g., immersion baptism) are specialized, the basic referent is directly derivable and mirrored in other languages, making it understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Baptist Church gets its name from the word baptize, which means 'to dip someone in water' as a sign of new faith. Because these churches only baptize people who choose to join and usually put them fully under the water, the name explains this special practice.
