The congregation votes on membership in the church. To join a church a person professes belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and confess their repentance from sin.

Is transfer of membership necessary in a baptist church when establishing a new church?
Since local Baptist churches are autonymous (self-governing, self-regulating) it is hard to say that anything involving membership is absolutely required. It really depends on the local church.Commonly, when a person in involved is involved in a church-plant (establishing a new church), the person would maintain the membership in the parent church until the formal inauguration of the new church. At that time, membership is transferred from the original church to the new church.However, some Baptist churches accept that individuals can be members of more than one church (this writer is a missionary and is a member his home church in the US, and is also a member of his church on the mission field).Some Baptist churches accept that an individual is a member of one church, while being an "associate member" of another church. (this writer has also don this.) That means that the person is a member of two churches but one is primary.Some Baptist churches believe that an individual can only be a member of one church at a time, but have "watch care" assigned to another church. An example of this would be a college student who is a member of one church while being under watch care of another near the college.

What does it mean to be cut off from the Christian church?
The word is 'excommunicated'. If a person says or does things publicly that are against the teachings of the church they can be excommunicated. It means being cut off from membership with the church. In practical terms these days, this only amounts to a cutting off from the church where one was a member. Many churches do not practice this anyway, but when it is done it often simply results in the person going to another church which doesn't discipline its members. This of course defeats the purpose, which is to lead the person to repentance.
