Why a pastor can not remove a deacon in the batist church?
Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.

How long does the voted in position of being a Deacon in a Baptist Church last and does the Deacon have to stay a Deacon if he wishes to get out of being one after a couple of years?
Each church is different - they operate according to their own individual constitution and by-laws. Just about any church office should be able to provide a copy of their constitution. In my church, deacons serve for a term of three years and then have a one-year period afterward where they cannot serve except under some specific circumstances; if a deacon wishes "to get out", they can simply resign their position. This is all laid out in my church's constitution.
