Well done for a 25 min. video! Touching on the main points of Baptist history without getting lost in the weeds is a tough job but you have succeeded! Looking forward to following installments. Thank you!To add:History is important, church history even more so for it is the history of God working grace in the heart of sinners, this in turn effects villages, communities and nations. Not just Baptist history but all church history. From the days of Jesus & the Apostels to present. For those who like to read I suggest D' Aubigne's "History of the Reformation of the 16th Century", Cotton Mather's "Magnalia Christi Americana" & "Foxe's Book of Martyrs".

My paternal ancestors William Arnold, Senior, and William Carpenter, Senior, were actual friends of Roger Williams. They helped him found not just the first Baptist church in Rhode Island but were also among the state's earliest settlers. As for me and my immediate family (parents and siblings), we are Southerm Baptists. Great video!

Baptists began with Jesus Christ and were never part of Catholicism or Protestantism. The Protestants persecuted baptists.

Good overview, but worth noting a significant historical nuance: Particular Baptists didn't actually descend from the Smyth/Helwys General Baptist stream. The video presents Baptist history as one movement that later divided, but the more accurate picture is that two streams emerged from entirely different sources. The General Baptists came out of English Separatism with heavy Dutch Arminian influence. The Particular Baptists emerged independently in the 1630s–40s from Calvinist Separatist and Puritan congregations who simply became convinced through Bible study that believer's baptism was the biblical pattern. The 1689 LBCF is essentially the Westminster Confession with the ecclesiology revised - it's a Puritan document at its core. Scholars like Tom Nettles and the work of Nick Needham in '2000 Years of Church History' make this case well. So Reformed Baptists aren't downstream of Smyth and Helwys. They're better understood as Reformed/Puritan Christianity that reached its consistent ecclesiological conclusion on baptism and church membership. The Baptist label is almost secondary to the theological substance.
