What's the vertical dimension signify?
3. The horizontal lines at the bottom have between them the nicknames given to Baptists during the passing years and ages -- Novations, Montanists, Paulicians and Waldenses.
I don't at this instant know anything about the Novations or Paulicians. The Waldensians are OK, far as I know.
The Montanists you don't want in your pedigree. Ditto the Albigenisans and Cathars, who you don't mention, though they are on the chart. And who are these "Puritans" in the 4th century.
I notice they don't mention Munster.
Where does this "history" come from?

If you want to be religious become Catholic.
If you want to follow Christ get out of all churches.
Harold Camping, is that you?
So much of Baptist doctrine is defined in terms of the rejection of Papal authority in the 16th Century that it is hard to say that Christian bodies of the first centuries can be called “Baptist”.
Nonsense.
Scripture as final authority, believer's Baptism, equality of believer's, regenerate church membership and separation of church and state are all alien to the RCC. Churches of the first centuries that held these principles held beliefs that Baptists hold today.
It's interesting that no matter how hard the RCC tried to eliminate them there has always been a group of Christians that held these beliefs.
What was it Jesus said about being willing to suffer in his name?
Yes, I have to agree with wmfights. It is very near impossible to prove a continous Baptist Church. I think there is evidences to suggest that it was always out there but they just weren't very dilligent in recording things. When they did record things, they weren't very pretty. :O)
I was a catholic before becoming a Southern Baptist. Do we need to go on with this? I’m ready, any time. I don’t agree with the catholics on anything, but I am willing to leave them alone.
Not quite the same, don’t you think? Not quite the same.
I believe it is not in our best interest to encourage moslems in this country, when they have come here for the expressed purpose of killing all of us. Just my opinion. Fire away.
Fr. Meurer is only following in the steps of Koran-kissing Pope JPII.
Idolatrous heresies often find company amongst each other.
>>Praying to Mary is not in the New Testament, it is totally invented by the Catholics. Baptizing infants is not in the New Testament, it was totally invented by the Catholics. The list goes on and on.<<
Amen!
Indulgences, purgatory, the Mass, prayers to dead people, prayers to relics and bones, men making other men “saints”, etc, etc. All invented, all keeping men blind to the truth.
catholic is to be spelled with a small “c”.
