Answer 2:
No denomination is mentioned in the Bible. The term "Baptist" is used in the Bible to describe what John did, not his "denomination". Baptists also make an interesting claim to being the first church based on Christ's commission as outlined in Matthew 28, when He said, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost." Jesus commissioned this as an act, not as a church.
Many Baptists trace their lineage to John the Baptist, but this is not correct. In fact, there was no specific church at that time except for the Jewish faith. Baptists and episcopals both came out of the same protestant movement sparked by Martin Luther, which came out of Luther's objections to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Essentially, the episcopal church came first, arising as it did out of the church of England (later "Anglican church"), around the year 1538 when the Church of England separated from the Roman catholic Church. All other protestant churches followed after that, and the Baptists can certainly be included in the Protestant churches. Quite simply: there was no true "Baptist" church prior to the Reformation, though there were many groups that worshipped in secret, for fear of reprisal.
