I am a Baptist, and it is alright if you join..the only reason you get baptized is if you haven't shown people that you are saved is the only reason we get baptized also to "cleanse" yourself
No. If you join a new Baptist church they will ask the previous church for a letter of transfer. This way you are taken off the roles of the church you no longer attend.
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.
If you go to their church get "Baptised" as or become a member of the 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.
I have been a Baptist all my life and have never heard of any one being erased. That must be an Independent Baptist church that has decided to "remove" a member from the church roll book. It is NOT a formal document or practice in Baptist churches a a whole.

Yes, you can typically find a printed copy of a Baptist church covenant by visiting the church's official website, contacting the church office directly, or requesting it from a church member. Many Baptist churches provide copies of their covenant for members and visitors to review. Additionally, church covenants may be included in church membership packets or available in the church's literature.
Every Baptist Church has it's own Constitution and bylaws you would have to ask the individual church leaders in the church you go to for this information. Ask for a copy of the churches Constitution and Bylaws the answer will be in there. There is no set time each Baptist church is an entity unto itself and under now governing body like the Catholic church, Baptist churches are democracies run by the people of the church who vote on the rules of offices in the church
