Speaking for Southern Baptist churches...
The Southern Baptist Convention has instituted in The Baptist Faith & Message that all leaders of the church (pastors, deacons, etc.) shall be the husband of one wife as quoted in 1 Timothy 3. That is one of the many differences between Baptists & Mormons/Church of Latter Day Saints. == 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach... 12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

What is the difference in southern baptist and independent?
Southern Baptist is a denomination or organization of Baptists while Independent Baptist is a category of Baptist. Baptist churches are autonymous. By this, each baptist church is self-governing. In this sense all Baptist Churches are "independent." However, many Baptist churches choose to associate together in denominational groups. Southern Baptist Convention would be one such "denomination." Other Baptist churches may affiliate with other Baptist churches on some level but still call themselves "Independent." Other Baptist churches have no real affiliation and would also, understandably, call themselves as "Independent." While Independent Baptists, statistically speaking, may tend to be more theologically conservative than the average Baptist church, the actual beliefs of any Baptist church is really the decision of the individual church, so there is a limit to what extent one can know a Baptist Church by its label.
