Correct. I was just thinking prior to the reformation. Donatism and Anabaptism has some kinship. So do some of the other groups. You can't say you have an exact corrolary because Anabaptists themselves were not uniform in belief. You just had baptistic beliefs present throughout history.

I agree.

I think you can find sects of Christianity from the second century to the reformation that believed in specific things; the primacy of Scripture, baptism of believers only, separation of church and state, church discipline, and a decentralized form of church government.

As always I get to involved, have to get back to work.
