I know that most Baptists do not entertain all the excesses of the Anabaptists.
However, in the area of rebaptism there is really no difference between the two camps. While internally consistent, nevertheless, the credobaptist view wrt rebaptism is anomalous wrt the Reformed faith as it is historically understood. | Totally agreed.
(and I wasn't saying you in particular were painting with a broad brush... I was referring to the initial posting that I replied to, wherein I believe a 'too broad' brush was applied)
