There is an experience of grace which is brought about when one has been born again. The new convert who has been saved by God's grace can follow the Lord in believers baptism thus having a second experience. When the old records refers to the one who is joining that is a new convert they join by baptism. When one joins without a transfer of a church letter from another church, and that person has a salvation experience and a baptism experience to relate then the old church would receive them by experience.

What is an independent Baptist?
An Independent Baptist church is just that-- independent.They hold to the fundamentals of faith: the virgin birth, deity AND humanity of Christ, the trinity, inspired KING JAMES VERSION of the Bible for English speaking people, etc. They are independent by not being a part of an association or convention. Although we do like to fellowship of those with a like mind as us, we are not a part of anything formal fellowships. Not all Independent Baptist churches are the same. Most hold to conservative beliefs and music and dress, where others do not. I am an Independent Baptist, and at my church most of the the women wear skirts and wear modest clothing (we do not condemn those who do not, but it is our conviction) but some do not have convictions or preach against wearing pants. We only use the Red Book Church Hymnal for congregation singing and use traditional Gospel music, but some use contemporary music. It varies on what region of the country you are in and just the individual church you attend. Hope that helped!
