Landmark Baptists believe they pre-date the Roman Catholic Church. DAVEH: Thank you for lending a little more insight, Perry. FWIW........ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark_Baptist_Church .........WIKI has a little to say about it that clarifies what I think Kevin has been implying. It seems......... The leaders of what would become known as the Landmark movement were James Robinson Graves, James Madison Pendleton, and Amos Cooper Dayton (sometimes called the Great Triumvirate). ..........lived in the mid 19th Century and fostered the notion that organization had its inception at the time of Jesus. Do you believe that as they do, Perry? Or...do you believe they were founded by the Great Triumvirate? As you know, Perry.....my interest is in the Protestants. So, those Baptists who lay claim to Protestant roots are those who I tend to cast my focus. That there are small congregations or individuals who claim not to be Protestant don't capture my attention at this point. But....If there are Baptists who are rooted in Protestantism....that's what I am curious about. So....that Kevin (or you) are referring to small groups who are not associated with Protestantism is really not pertinent to my interests.

Why is the word "protestant" in quotes? This article has no credits and no citations. Why should it carry any weight other than the fact that it mentions a few points you are trying to make? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
