In typical Baptist style these people were all baptized immediately after they went forward to accept Christ.

Great point!

What also conveniently gets forgotten in the discussion about pre-Reformation Baptistic sects are the other characteristics that you see in Baptist Churches and in many Protestant Churches. The church government is decentralized and congregational just as the early church was. The strong belief in the separation of church and state. The great concern about church discipline. Also, most importantly you see the primacy of SCRIPTURE in these different sects of Christianity.

The Bible teaches Peter Commanded they be Baptised

Acts 10...And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
