What does it mean for a baptist church to become incorporated?
Duanecorbettdc
Baptist Churches are autonomous and independent (normally and traditionally). As such they are organized and governed locally.
Incorporation is a legal term whereby, formal status is given to an organized body of individuals.
A Baptist church does not have to incorporate. It can exist as a body of believers. However, many/most Baptist churches see value in being recognized as an incorporated body. It gives legal status and minimizes risk to individual members.

What does under watchcare mean in the baptist church?
Watch-care in the baptist church is used when a profession of faith is in question. When I was 9 years old and my sister chose to join our church I also went forward to profess my faith. Because of my age and the possibility that I did the profession because my sister did I was put under watch-care. In my church a children's teacher was asked to vouch for me at a later date. I understood my profession of faith and new in my heart that God was a loving father such a my father was and dedicated my life to Him. I was not offended by being put under watch-care.
