The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594 and Shakespeare was one of its charter members, so he didn't actually join it. He had by that time already written a few plays and was an actor. Later, under King James I, the Lord Chamberlain's men changed their name to the King's Men.
This company did not own the Globe Theatre or any theatre; that was a different group of partners, one of whom was also Shakespeare.

Plays did not belong to their author, the company who first performed them owned the exclusive rights. So, either the acting company authorized it or, more likely, it was a pirated, the way that some people pirate DVDs today.

Shakespeare was baptised on April 26, 1564, because it was illegal for people in England not to belong to the Church of England. Had his parents failed to bring him to the church for baptism, they would be subject to criminal prosecution.
