In many cases about the only thing they shared in common with the London baptists is their credobaptismal practice. In order to promote the doctrine of paedobaptism it is really quite bad form to call out credobaptists because of the heresies of the Anabaptists. This would be like saying that since Muslims are monotheists, and Muslims follow a false religion, that monotheism is false. | The heresy they share in common is the requirement for rebaptism of those not baptized by immersion or baptized as infants.
