Baptismal services are performed by many religious denominations.
However, Baptists do not recognize any baptisms except for one performed by an ordained Baptist minister from an authorized Baptist church. Even then, if the person that is baptized has not truly been "born again" then the baptism doesn't count because baptism is a picture of believing and receiving that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. If a person didn't really believe and receive Jesus Christ then that persons baptism is not valid. Baptism does not save, it is just a picture of salvation.

What is the difference in southern baptist and independent?
Southern Baptist is a denomination or organization of Baptists while Independent Baptist is a category of Baptist. Baptist churches are autonymous. By this, each baptist church is self-governing. In this sense all Baptist Churches are "independent." However, many Baptist churches choose to associate together in denominational groups. Southern Baptist Convention would be one such "denomination." Other Baptist churches may affiliate with other Baptist churches on some level but still call themselves "Independent." Other Baptist churches have no real affiliation and would also, understandably, call themselves as "Independent." While Independent Baptists, statistically speaking, may tend to be more theologically conservative than the average Baptist church, the actual beliefs of any Baptist church is really the decision of the individual church, so there is a limit to what extent one can know a Baptist Church by its label.

Then the pastor will give a message based on the scripture and close with an invitation time in which the congregation is encourage to respond to the message either by speaking with the pastor or by praying up at the front of the church. All baptist churches are independent so every one worships a little bit differently, but this is a basic idea of what to expect.
