This is indeed needed. Some baptist circles believe Jesus was baptist because he was baptized by John the baptist. And I am not kidding!

Oh yeah. Most if not all Roman catholics beleive Peter was the first pope. Not kidding! : )

Some Baptists think they are named after John the Baptist and that he was the first Baptist (as in confessional Baptist). Bizarre.

Funnier still, the sought after "history" is always Second Century and not before... For instance, "baptism" was not invented by John either. It is not a "sacrament" because it did not begin as a signifying mark of "Christianity." Immersion predates John by centuries, and was a regular practice in Second Temple Judaism.

If you want to know "church history" better brush up on Second Temple Judaism... But then again, that will only take you further away from your Catholic and Protestant theology, so better be careful.
