I'm pinging you to this posting since we were talking about John the Baptist and how some Baptists trace their beliefs to him. This article briefly mentions this as perhaps a heretical view:

"He thus rejected the commonly held view of Baptist historic successionism – that Baptists could trace their history all the way back to John the Baptist."

Thank you on both counts HarleyD.

The Anabaptist site which led me to others. And to rediscovering mostly forgotten history. Don't know if you noticed the mention of the book Martyrs Mirror. Fascinating text of first hand accounts, if you can find an english version-usually in german.

I'll have to look into the other further. It just doesn't make sense doctrinally speaking.

Again, thank you for thinking of me.

PS If you are political at all, I hope you will look in on an article I am about ot post called, Bad Company.
