I hold to the only true and right strain of Covenant Theology... within credo-baptist strictures
"We believe that the Baptists are the original Christians. We did not commence our existence at the reformation, we were reformers before Luther and Calvin were born; we never came from the Church of Rome, for we were never in it, but we have an unbroken line up to the apostles themselves. We have always existed from the days of Christ, and our principles, sometimes veiled and forgotten, like a river which may travel under ground for a little season, have always had honest and holy adherents. Persecuted alike by Romanists and Protestants of almost every sect, yet there has never existed a Government holding Baptist principles which persecuted others; nor, I believe, any body of Baptists ever held it to be right to put the consciences of others under the control of man..."

I'm actually quite surprised Spurgeon would say something like this. I thought particular baptists consider themselves Protestants of Calvin's lineage. This sounds like junk from Landmarkian Anabaptists (heretics) not Reformed Baptists (biblical Protestants).

For all practical purposes its better to say John the Baptizer. When I hear John the "Baptist" I envision him carrying a potluck!
