 SPLCenter.org: Church vs. State
The term "unregistered" was originally used to describe underground churches in the Soviet Union that evaded regulation by the bureaucracy of a state opposed to religion.
America's "unregistered" churches, many of which sent Bibles to unregistered Soviet churches in the 1970s, adopted the term to show they thought the United States matched the USSR in its smothering of religious liberty.
The principal goal of unregistered churches is to avoid 501(c)3 incorporation, which is the normal status for charities and religious groups, because they see accepting that status as caving in to secular demands that interfere with religion.

 Unregistered Baptist Fellowship
The UBF is a fellowship of Baptist pastors, evangelists, missionaries and laymen.
The purpose of the UBF is to provide an opportunity for men of like spirit (Acts 4:24) and like mind (Philippians 2:1,2), who are personally and ecclesiastically separated (Amos 3:3; II Corinthians 6:15-17), holding to the historic Baptist doctrines of the written Word of God (KJV 1611).
The UBF is not a denomination; it is a fellowship, but is not incorporated, has no headquarters, owns no property, employs no workers, holds no bank accounts, owns no equipment, maintains no membership, adopts no Constitution and operates with no by-laws.

Though the group has associated itself with the moderate Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Sayles said they are open to working with any group that wants to work with the network.
Joe David Fore, retired Baptist campus minister at UNC-Asheville and a member of the steering committee, said the group was not formed as a replacement to state convention associations already working in the area.
He said the motivation behind the network was to provide fellowship for churches that felt like they were not being given that opportunity in other places.

 SPLCenter.org: Pants-demonium
GREENWOOD, Ind. -- The 20th annual Unregistered Baptist Fellowship, an antigovernment gathering held each October near Indianapolis, Ind., draws some of the country's most radical religious "Patriots." But this year, discussion of classic villains like tax collectors and federal agents took a back seat to a much more pressing issue — ladies in pants.
Unregistered Baptists believe the government has no place anywhere near a church, and many of them routinely break the law to prove their faith.
In 2001, following a three-month standoff, federal agents raided the Indianapolis Baptist Temple, host of the conference, and seized the church building as compensation for 17 years of unpaid withholding taxes.

The Thomas Road Baptist Church's contribution to the Southern Baptist conservatives of Virginia qualifies it to send messengers to the SBC annual meeting and allows members of the church to serve on trustee boards of the SBC.

 Anabaptist History
However, John the Baptist was the last great Old Testament prophet, and He was the earthly bridge between the Old and New Testament era.  Christ chose disciples, baptized by John the Baptist, to begin His Church.  Early in 30 AD, this first Church was Spirit empowered.
In consequence, the Baptist may be regarded as being from of old the only religious denomination that have continued from the times of the Apostles, as a Christian society who have kept the evangelical faith pure through all the ages hitherto”.
According to John Christian in, “A History of the Baptist Church” Volume 1, page 328, in reference to the 1600’s states,  “For a period the imposition of hands upon the Baptized, fasting as a religious duty, washing the feet of the disciples, and anointing of the sick were practiced in some congregations”.
