What else can I help you with?
Would like to know if I transfer from an different church not a Baptist to a Baptist church do you have to be Baptist there to be a member?

Can you become a catholic if you were baptized in the Lutheran church?
Yes In Australia you would not still be considered Catholic, as long as you underwent some Lutheran instruction by the Pastor. You would not be permitted to become a member of a Lutheran church if you did not acknowledge and accept the creeds of the Lutheran church publicly, i.e. in front of the congregation which you wished to join.
Can baptist church members read the church records?
It depends on the individual church, but I would say most baptist churches would allow it.
Is a marriage in a protestant church recognized by the Catholic church?
Roman Catholic AnswerAny marriage between two validly baptized Christians would be recognized unless one of the validly baptized Christians (or both) were Catholics in which case they would be bound by the marriage laws of the Church. It really depends on what you mean by "recognized".

Can a Lutheran wedding be blessed by the Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church can and does perform marriages for a Catholic and a non-Catholic (mixed marriages). Generally, Lutheran weddings are left to be performed by Lutheran pastors, though..Catholic AnswerI think what you are asking is can a wedding that took place in a Lutheran Church be blessed by a priest in the Catholic Church. I teach in the RCIA and we have many people coming into the Church whose marriages are in questionable circumstances - as far as the Church is concerned. Marriage is a sacrament, and can only be validly celebrated by two baptized individuals of the opposite sex who are both eligible to marry. A Lutheran wedding between two baptized protestants would be a valid marriage. When someone is converting to the Catholic Church and already married, in whatever circumstances, in most cases, they must be married again before a priest to validly enact the sacrament. Lay folk often refer to this a having the "marriage blessed by a priest" (or the Catholic Church).
Does baby need godparents to be baptized in Lutheran church?
This would primarily be up to the pastor and the parents, as well as the potential godparents. However, there are enough serious doctrinal disagreements regarding baptism between the Lutheran Churches and the Baptist Churches that such an arrangement could be problematic and perhaps not even possible if all parties were to remain faithful to their tradition. If the potential godparent were to subscribe only to Believer Baptism as opposed to Infant Baptism, then they could not really believe in the effectiveness of an infant's baptism. In the tradition of Believer's baptism, the child would have to be baptized again at an older age, when said child would be able to come to Christ and come to terms with their faith. Now, to a Lutheran, the concept of someone being baptized again would seem to be unnecessary at best, heretical in all cases, and at worst an insult to baptism. Article IX of the Augsburg Confession states that baptism should come to children, as it entrusts them to God, and Luther's Large Catechism lines 47-86 declare that Baptism should be given to children, and can only come once. For a Lutheran, baptism can only occur once, the free showing and showering of God's love and grace through the action of the Holy Spirit, permanently and not dependent on the child, but on a God who loves. A second baptism, or any belief that the infant's baptism is not the true baptism, would seem to Lutherans to possibly cast doubt on this. With this in mind, one must question if a Baptist would even want to become a godparent to a Lutheran child, if said child's very baptism is questionable to the Baptist. One would also question whether a baptized child would be brought up well as a Lutheran Christian if said child is being taught about Christianity and within Christianity, baptism, by one who ascribes to a vision that could potentially doubt the veracity of the child's baptism.

Just go to any Lutheran Church in your area. I would suggest the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod (LCMS). Talk to the pastor and he might help you get enrolled in a new members course to learn about church teachings. I'm sure they'd be happy to have you join!
