What is required for church membership in a Baptist Church? The answer is:
First, you must be saved or born again (John 3:3). Being born again is receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Believing that Jesus died for your sins and that he was resurrected on the third day. Romans 10:9-10"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
Second. you must be baptized. This is scriptural baptism which is by immersion. Or, to go under and not by sprinkling. This baptism is after you have made your confession of receiving Jesus as Lord of your life.
There are a lot of individuals who have been baptized after they were born or within their first year of birth. This baptism is meaningless. A baby cannot confess Jesus as Lord. So, in most Baptist Churches, if one was baptized prior to their confession or being born again, you would have to be re-baptized.
Baptism is an act that is done after one have received Jesus as Lord and not before.
These are the two things that all must do to become a member of most Baptist churches in America.

Is transfer of membership necessary in a baptist church when establishing a new church?
Since local Baptist churches are autonymous (self-governing, self-regulating) it is hard to say that anything involving membership is absolutely required. It really depends on the local church.Commonly, when a person in involved is involved in a church-plant (establishing a new church), the person would maintain the membership in the parent church until the formal inauguration of the new church. At that time, membership is transferred from the original church to the new church.However, some Baptist churches accept that individuals can be members of more than one church (this writer is a missionary and is a member his home church in the US, and is also a member of his church on the mission field).Some Baptist churches accept that an individual is a member of one church, while being an "associate member" of another church. (this writer has also don this.) That means that the person is a member of two churches but one is primary.Some Baptist churches believe that an individual can only be a member of one church at a time, but have "watch care" assigned to another church. An example of this would be a college student who is a member of one church while being under watch care of another near the college.
