A Baptist pastor explains that church membership follows conversion, not voting. The church, not external bodies, governs itself by majority votes and biblical teaching. Each member has a voice, with ministers guiding by influence, while Baptists reject external bishops or courts and emphasize equal, Christ-centered authority. Presented by the Southern Baptist Churches of Ector County.
