What does "B.P" stand for?

Contained in the US, Alaska— Church records, 1816-1970…

I think that this is a death certificate log, because there are abbreviations like "B." and "DD", but I do not know what "BP" stands for. I don't think that it stands for "Birth Place" because there is a date that follows it, and same reasoning falls for "Burial Place":

Name, BP. MY 5, 1825

That is an idea of what the log says for one of the lines.

    @Ethan Watkins bp. stands for baptized so your example would be entered as Name baptized on May 5 1825 or if this is a death cert log, it would simply additional info about that particular person and not necessarily indexed — I cannot be more certain without your batch number/code. Maybe you need to change the entry type for this entry? Please provide the batch code
