Martin Luther was just a man. The reformation was necessary, but the Baptists never needed to be reformed, they had it right all along.

Show me a credible history that Baptists even existed as churches before the Reformation (or really even before the 1700s in England). Sorry, with the exception of the persecuted Jews, Western Europe was entirely Roman Cathoic before 1517--otherwise you got burned at the stake.

I know its hard to say (for Baptist and non-Baptist alike...), but Baptists are Protestant too...

Baptists are not protestants, they existed before the Protestant reformation

Not entirely true.  In theory, at least, pagans, as well as Jews, were tolerated before this time.  Of course, sometimes they were tolerated more than at others...
