Many folks are confused about this issue. Baptist did not have a founder. Not a human founder that is. The head and founder of the church is Jesus Christ Their standards and beliefs come directly from the word of God. They are followers of The Bible and are NOT protastant,seperatists,or a branch from the Catholic church. However these people were not always called Baptists. In ancient times it was just New Testament Christians. The term "Baptist" came around just before the middle ages. Due to persecution the Baptists were in hiding in different parts of the world and did not have an official name, so they were just "Biblical Christians". the first Baptist church in America was The First Baptist Church Of New York. The pastor was a man named John Clark who was a preacher from England.
