"I'd be interested to see any credible historical evidence of the "trail of blood" theory of Baptist denomination, as I have heard the claim before, likewise without much beyond the florid eloquence of Spurgeon to buck it up"
I just gave it to you in post #303. How much more do you want. Don't you believe me? Huh?
In 303 you said that there is a ministry starting with John the Baptist, then Appollos, then Priscilla and Aquilla, then underground. At a minimum, I'd like to know what evidence is there of such a ministry, what was their link to John the Baptist, why were they not in communion with Rome, what they taught, why did they go underground, and how did they manage to sustain a communion while underground.
