    Does anyone know any details about the continuity of the Baptist Christians with the Christians of the earlier period?
    For example, the Waldensians, Beggins, Petrobusians,Kafars/Novocians, Donatists, and the Early Church

    There are many who insist that the movements you cite are firmly linked. Others (I am one) look at them as having spiritual kinship.

    ====================================
    Well, the thing is that I am convinced here that our kinship is not only spiritual, but also (if I may say so) in the flesh.
    It's just that the information that I have says and indicates how they (so to speak) came out of one another and just changed the name, although the name did not always change.

    For example, I was surprised at the time when I learned that Catholics called all Christians of the Evangelical confession one word "Anabaptists", that is,"Re-Baptists".
    I just came to the conclusion that the Baptists (at least in Russia and the CIS countries) have little information on this issue. We have to dig up everything through the force.

    I forgot something about this topic.
    Does anyone know the books on the history of Baptism on the topic of its continuity? You can use the titles and the link to the book together. I will be grateful.)))

    Did They Dip? by John T. Christian is an answer to the theory of W. H. Whitsitt, who began to teach that the Baptists adopted immersion in 17th century England. John T. Christian believes in the continuity of baptism before this time.

    I just read about them. I can say that I agree with them, but they need to learn a little more history, otherwise they have written down obvious heretics in our ancestors.

    I would say that the church in Acts practiced Baptist doctrines and practices, but that the Proper Baptists were not existing until in Middle Ages!

    It is understandable. After all, if we take you and us for comparison, then as it turned out with the general similarity, we are still a little different. The Russian Baptists were very much influenced by the "Shtundists", "Fraternal Mennonites" and " Molokans"

    Does the Russian orthodox Church in Russia tolerate other churches?

    Well, there's no telling. They suffer in terms of the fact that they do not have the power that they had under the tsars, and so they slander very much and stick their propaganda wherever they can. it is also clear that they are trying to influence the authorities in order to curtail the freedom and rights of other confessions.

    Well, they are not a Church, but simply a religiously politicized organization of Eastern Catholics of the Byzantine rite. And so yes. They do their best to harm all the creeds they can. In fact, many laws restricting religious freedom were created by their adherents or with explicit lobbying on their part.

    I haven't heard of most of those except the Waldensians and the Donatists. Donatists were an early heresy. To be fair, we shouldn't concern ourselves too much with which man in history we align ourselves with. Align yourself with Christ and you will not fall. If any has done some work that has lead to true repentance and faith in Christ, then glory to God.
