I was talking about the "excommunicated members purporting to be proto-Baptists", and I meant 1-2 century of Our Lord, in the context of the Trail of Blood theory. I know that the Baptist theology of the modern era is on record, with all its diversity, and it, of course, usually resembles the rest of the Reformed theology.

Hmmmm....unfortunately I'm not familiar with this event nor could I find it in my readings. In fact, until this conversation, I never heard of the Trail of Blood theory although I have come across some writings that state Baptists came up independent of Rome. Below is a link to a person who believes in the Trail of Blood theory.

Please note that while some of the information looks valid there are scant historical references to substantiate some of the claims being made. Don't yell at me for his views but the views are interesting.
