Every denomination has different procedures for church government - you'd have to check your church's book of discipline or manual or whatever your specific denomination calls it, or talk to the church board or the pastor's superior; usually a district or conference superintendent.

∙ 10y agoMost Baptist churches (since this is under the Baptist category) are congregational. This essentially means that the pastor has the congregation as its "boss." He is their spiritual leader, but the power to be the leader comes from the congregation.
There are different ways in which this is done.
1. Some have a formal contract between the church and the pastor. As such, a failure of the pastor to keep his side of the contract may lead to his removal.
2. Some have annually renewable contracts. Each year the contract may be renewed by the congregation, or not.
3. Regardless of contract, Baptist churches typically have a Constitution and Bylaws that specify the calling and removing of pastors and other staff.
4. If there is no other paperwork defining the relationship, ultimately it is the congregation that calls (presumably by a majority vote) and can remove (again by a majority vote).

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.

What is the authority of the Ministers in the Methodist Church?
Methodist Ministers have total authority over the worship service. They have total authority over teaching new members for admission to membership in the church. The rest of their authority mainly depends on leadership ability and an ability to size up situations and step in when needed. The methodist pastor can call up the bishop and say, "Get me out of here," and he will. The pastor parish relations committee can vote to remove the pastor from the church, and the bishop will. It is generally the congregation that elects that committee. Still, unlike some churches, if some busybody in the congregation doesn't like the pastor, the congregation can't vote to get rid of the pastor. So the pastor has to work but doesn't have to worry about a split in the congregation. John Wesley set up the Methodist Church so that individual congregations could function without a pastor around. Thus, if the creeks were over the bridges and the circuit rider could not get across the swollen rivers, the churches functioned as normal. If the members of the church boards did not do the work and the boards could not function, the pastor could step in and make appointments. When there is a conflict, it is the job of the District Superintendent to come in and review the situation.

Yes. Some of the basic beliefs are different, while both do believe in the Holy Trinity, and the Saviour's dying to remove our sins.
