John the “Baptist,” the forerunner of Jesus Himself, came long before the ana-baptist and the catholics.

Ha ha, so now you use the suffix of St. John to justify the creation of a sect in the 1600s?

Baptists were founded by John Smyth, an English separatist in 1609 who was reared in the Church of England, he became "Puritan, English Separatist, and then a Baptist Separatist," and ended his days working with the Mennonites

The guy was first in the Anglicans, then joined the Calvinist, then jumped to the English Separatists, then the Baptist separatists and then the Mennonites.

Baptists then took much of their stuff from Anabaptists and ta da created their mix, founded by Smyth, not by Christ. Just another man-made religion that denies and attacks Christ's ONE Holy Apostolic Catholic Church,
