Ironically, the Baptist movement was started as a non-creedal movement, and up through about the 1970's even the Southern Baptist branch probably still qualified as being honestly called such. After conservatives staged a coup on the national Convention level, seizing leadership away from the moderates, it became less and less so (and also moved away from some other freedoms historically associated with Baptism). Today the SBC is still nominally non-creedal, but has in practice adopted some belief statements as creedal statements used to test whether a church should be able to remain in fellowship with the larger convention, etc.
