A genuine Baptist church has no governing body over it. Each individual church is totally independent of other churches. Church "A" cannot make a decision for church "B" and church "B" cannot make a decision for church "A." Baptist do not have a church hierarchy of, for example, Pope >> Bishop >> Priest, etc.
