“We have now seen that the Baptists, who were formerly called Anabaptists, and in later times Mennonites, were the original Waldenses, and who have long in the history of the Church received the honor of that origin. On this account, the Baptists may be considered as the only Christian community which has stood since the days of the Apostles; and as a Christian society which has preserved pure the doctrines of the gospel through all the ages.”
--- History of Dutch Baptists by Dr. Ypeig & Dr. J. J. Dermont

John Calvin confirmed of killing those against pedobaptism like Servetus (a heretic) and the anabaptists (not heretics)

Part 2: "Another point to which the authour has directed his attention, has been the consideration of the old Italick translation. ... the celebrated text,of the heavenly wit nesses was adopted in the version which prevailed in the Latin Church, previously to the introduction of the modern Vulgate [previous to Jerome's Latin Vulgate]."

The pure Old Latin Bible was translated and existed almost 300 years before Jerome's corrupt Latin Vulgate of 405 AD was even made.

Proof Anabaptists are not the same as Protestants: why did Prots/Lutherans condemn Anabaptists in 5 pages of the 1530 Ausburg Confession that Protestants themselves made?

Page 9: "Article V: ... They condemn the Anabaptists and others, who think that the Holy Ghost cometh to men without the external Word, through their own preparations and works.": https://archive.org/details/augsburgconfessi00unse/page/9/mode/1up?q=Anabaptists

Page 11: "Article XI : They condemn the Anabaptists, who allow not the bap¬ tism of children, and say that children are saved without baptism."
https://archive.org/details/augsburgconfessi00unse/page/11/mode/1up?q=Anabaptists

Page 12: "Article XI ... They condemn the Anabaptists, who deny that those once justified can lose the Holy Ghost." https://archive.org/details/augsburgconfessi00unse/page/12/mode/1up?q=Anabaptists

Page 13: "Article XVI .... They condemn the Anabaptists who forbid these civil offices to Christians."
https://archive.org/details/augsburgconfessi00unse/page/13/mode/1up?q=Anabaptists

Page 14: "Article XVII... They condemn the Anabaptists who think that there will be an end to the punishments of condemned men and devils."

"THE AUGSBURG CONFESSION

DELIVERED TO THE EMPEROR CHARLES V., AT THE DIET OF AUGSBURG, A. D. 1530.

[This Translation is made from the Latin Editio Princeps, of 1530-31, the authority of which, equally with that of the German Editio Princeps, surpasses all other known Editions. .... The words in brackets are inserted from the German Editio Princeps.]"
https://archive.org/details/augsburgconfessi00unse/page/n1/mode/1up?q=Anabaptists

The noteworthy thing is Prots/Lutherans used 5 PAGES OUT OF 84 PAGES in the PROTESTANT' own 1530 Ausburg Confession TO SAY "THEY CONDEMN THE ANABAPTISTS"!🤔🤔

So why would Prots uses 5 PAGES of their 1530 Ausburg Confession to say they condemn Anabaptists on 5 varied issues, if Protestants & Anabaptists were the same thing? Oh, because the Protestants did not get along with the Anabaptists and were not the same things!

(Quick note page 14: no Anabaptist believes that there is an end to punishment of unbelieving/condemned men and devils but Anabaptists believe there is eternal punishment for unbelievers and devils in the Lake of Fire forever.)

A History of the Baptists Part 1 Laying the Foundation

Link

This series has a two-fold purpose: 1) to trace the history of the Baptists from the days of the apostles to the time of the Protestant Reformation and 2) to trace the origin and history of the family of manuscripts which were used to produce our English Bible.

Along the way, the series will present many different groups of Baptists and anabaptists called by different names in different places and at different times... but all holding to the same basic tenets as modern day Baptists.

Additionally, the history of the corrupt church(es) which parallel the history of the true church will be discussed in each period of time, as well.

This study is the product of more than 30 years of research and study by Ray McBerry, Pastor of Pinnacle Baptist Church.

Link

Part 2 of this series deals with the first two centuries of church history, including the persecution by the Roman Empire. It also details the rise of two distinctly different lines of churches, that of Biblical New Testament churches and that of the apostate churches.

This episode includes information about the Montanists, and the Novatians, as well as such key individuals as Tertullian, Montanus, Novatian, Origen, and Cornelius. The origin of the name "Baptist" is seen, along with the origin of many of the pagan doctrines of later Roman Catholicism.

Part 3 of this series deals with the rise of the ancient Baptists known as the Donatists as well as the formation of the Roman Catholic Church. It explains who was involved with the founding of Roman catholicism, when, why, and from where did they get the odd and unbiblical doctrines that make up catholicism. This segment also explains the response of Baptist churches of the time to the creation of the Catholic church.

Part 4 of this series deals with the Paulicians and Albigenses of the Middle Ages. It traces the missionary efforts of these medieval Baptists, the explosion of converts throughout Europe, and the Catholic Church's crusades to exterminate them. It also documents both their love for the Word of God and the differences between their Bibles and that of the Roman Catholic Church.

PBC A History of the Baptists Part 5 of 5 The Baptists Who Gave Birth to the Reformation

Link

In Part 5 of this groundbreaking series of Baptist history, Pastor Ray McBerry deals with the Waldensian Baptists from their beginnings from near apostolic times through the Protestant Reformation. But the most important historical contribution of this treatise on the Waldenses which separates it from all other historical accounts of these ancient Baptists is the documented evidence that Pastor McBerry provides, using original sources which are the product of more than 30 years of research, near the end of this segment which proves definitively that these Baptists were both directly and indirectly responible for the Reformation. (At the same time, the video shows Baptists are NOT Protestants & Baptists have existed since 30AD, almost 1,500 years before the Protestants before 1517 Reformation)

[Note: These Baptists' names are the Waldensians/Vaudois;/Vallsenes means people of the valleys [of the Piedmont] )]
