Actually, I believe some Baptists would argue their beliefs go back to John the Baptist, preceding and incorporating our Lord’s ministry. Thus, if correct, the Baptists would be the oldest faith

They have no documented anything to make such a claim. It's a fairytale. The Baptists have their imaginary roots in Marcion, a heretic.

But in reality they are a man made creation as the article says of a much later date.

I wish it were the other way around, but the truth hurts HD.

We base it on the traditions of the fathers, handed down through oral interpretation.
