Waldenses, Paulicians, Donatists, Puritans..plus others
Named after key leaders and key principles.. got nicknamed 'Anabaptists'
They have no known human founder but adhered tenatiously to the teachings of the first New Testament churches.
Covered in the likes of the Battle for Baptist History by I.K.Cross.. The Trail of Blood by B.Carroll.. My Church by J.M. Moody.. Churches in the Valley of Piedemont.
The Waldenses being devout christians in biblically sound churches who fled to the mountains.. 'men of the valleys' facing persecution. Their isolation in those mountains allowed them to preserve the truth of the Word.
Christians in mostly biblically sound churches that were around seperate from Catholicism and before the likes of Calvin and Luther, Wesley etc..
Of course, since reformers do try to go sola scriptura.. then there are some shared beliefs from the aforementioned churches and the reformers.. hence why these churches helped the reformers.
But tell me which reformed churches have truly imbraced full immersion baptism.. no infant baptism.. and baptism after conversion and baptism of only adults?
I know a lot Anglicans and Methodists still have pedobaptism.. and will baptise by sprinkling, not immersion.
Food for thought no?
