Baptists call their elders deacons. This name is in The Bible and many baptist churches try to follow the letter of the Bible when organizing their church.

What is the possessive form of elders?

Oh, dude, it's elders'! Like, you just add an apostrophe after the 's' when you're talking about something belonging to a group of elders. So, if you're talking about the elders' wisdom or the elders' meeting, that's how you show possession. Easy peasy!

What do Southern Baptists Believe that other Baptists dont?

I don’t know what other Baptists believe so I can’t know what is different except that Independent Baptists tend to view the King James translation as the only good bible and all others translations as lesser or even as evil depending on how and where the pastor was educated. As far as the other response goes I think is wrong. Southern Baptists formed at the time of the Civil War and slavery was certainly a large part of the South breaking away from the US as well as the formation of the Southern Baptist denominatio. There were other issues at stake as well. You will not find Southern Baptists today who support slavery.
