Tradition. It gives the preacher time to present the message of forgiveness and repentance. The alter call is the climax of most sermons in protestant churches.
Robes are not one of the ordinances of the worship service of a Baptist church, they are irrelevant to the worship service. Robes do not identify any kind of hierarchical position. Sometimes the choir uses them to have a common dress. There is no verse in the Bible that discusses wearing robes in the church.
Each local church or congregation is self governing. There is no one leader of the Baptist Church.
A prayer either led by the clergy or a lay person asked by the pastor at the end of the service is the benediction in a baptist church. It should include a thank you to God for being with the congregation during the worship service and a request to lead, guide and direct the congregation when they depart to serve the Lord.

Baptist churches do not have "mass." They have a church service and the time of the service depends on the church. Most churches have service sometime between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM on Sunday mornings.
The name of the church the MLK Jr. served as a co-partor was the Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Call to worship is usually a song or prayer that asks for the presence of God in the worship service and to set the mind or tone of the worship. The song can be song by the choir or the congregation and the prayer is usually said by the minister or a layperson designated by the minister in charged.
You can invite a person to the baptist church by going on the website called faithrapids.org. Another option is to talk to the person privately. You can convince the person to come to the Baptist church. You can even send them an invitation in the forma of a letter in their mailbox. These are all good options basically.
Yes. The Baptist Church honors the advent season, usually with the traditional advent candles, and other sacred worship.
The Mass is the primary service of worship in the Catholic Church as well as some other sects of Christianity.
A 'church' can refer to an entire denomination (i.e. 'the Baptist church', 'the Catholic church' etc..), to a congregation (the actual people who worship together) or to all Christians as a whole. The church building is the physical building - the walls and roof- where a congregation meets to worship.
