Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
If Smyth considered that he could baptize Believer's only, then he would have done so without baptizing himself. It seems to me that Smyth's baptism was illegitimate, and, concurrently, all other "Believer Only Baptisms" as well up to today.
That is a bit of a jump your making there brother; surely there are other Baptist ministers who were lawfully baptized.
There were no other "Baptist" ministers - he was the first - according to Bush and Nettles.

But what about Baptist ministers now?
