You generally present yourself to your local church as answering a call to the ministry. It is then up to the church to vote if they agree that your calling is valid. Not the same as being ordained.

A local Southern Baptist Church, which is self-governing, and in charge of all of its own affairs, will recognize that a young person (usually a young man) has a call to ministry and is showing the gifts thereof. Led by its pastor and perhaps at the young man's request, it will first, license him to the ministry. This is a recognition of his calling. At a later time, perhaps after college or seminary, but not necessarily, he will be ordained by that church or another Baptist church to the Gospel Ministry. Ordination is usually done at the time the young minister becomes pastor of his first church. Ordination is a right and responsibility of a local Baptist church, and not any of the various Baptist denominations
An evangelical Southern Baptist can preach anywhere.
You can't, the Baptists don't recogonzie the Assembly of God as a legitimate church. You have to be Baptized in a Baptist church and then it is up to the Baptist church in which you are a member to give you a liscense to preach and ordain you for the ministry.
You have to be a man that: 1.) has made a profession of salvation 2.) has been baptized in a Baptist church 3.) is living a holy life according to the Bible 4.) not divorced or have more than one wife 5.) surrendered to the ministry 6.) the church in which he is a member then decides whether or not to give him a liscense to preach
the church
You don't need a license to preach in America. That's usually church denomination related.
