I'm picking up on a previous thread about whether to be a Baptist is to be congregational.
As far as I know, no major Baptist association mandates a particular form of governance but allows each congregation to govern how they wish. I think that, in the strictest sense, to be Baptist is to be congregational.
Pastor Philip Way made a list of distinctives of Reformed Baptists, and one of them is Congregational.

As I mentioned before, this is the strictest sense of what it means to be Reformed Baptist. I don't even qualify according to the list because I'm not Sabbatarian.
