“ Great Sermon! ” What a great message! I have often felt that Zwingli has been overlooked in favor of Martin Luther (whom I have great respect for as well). So, I really appreciated Pastor Hamilton's in depth information on Zwingli and how the Lord shaped his life for His use and the blessing of the Swiss people. We all need to be Zwinglis in our own way.

“ Anabaptists ” It should also be remembered that not all "Anabaptists" were of sound doctrine and Biblical practice in Reformation times.Some of them rejected fundamental Biblical doctrines such as the Trinity. Some were of a Pentecostal-type persuasion - for example in Sweden. These were viewed as heretics by civil authorities and thus dealt with as others had been in those times. The idea that Baptists are not Protestants, and were faithful in testimony throughout the Dark Ages, whilst remaining separate from the Reformers, is the stuff of fantasy. The booklet "The Trail of Blood" is full of such fairy-tales.The supposed unbroken line of faithfulness among Anabaptists, going back to Christ's earthly days, is a myth.
C.H.Spurgeon - one of the greatest Baptists of the modern era - was gald to view himself as BOTH a Protestant AND a Baptist.

“ Clarification ” False and misleading propaganda concerning the Protestant Reformers will be deleted from the comments section. Some, because of their hatred for Reformed doctrine, have tried to associate the Reformers with murder and the persecution of "Baptists" and others. The implication is that Protestants were just as guilty as Rome in burning heretics. The realities of those times are often overlooked in such discussions. The civil power at the time burned Michael Servetus - an Anabaptist - as an heretic. John Calvin is often blamed for complicity in this event. The fact is that Calvin actually pleaded with the civil authority for mercy for Servetus. He did not want that man burned. Other examples of supposed Reformed persecutions are often given. What is forgotten is that at the time the civil powers had laws concerning capital punishment. This took time to change in Europe. The Reformation in Scotland saw no persecution whatsoever of Roman Catholics, for example, when Protestantism came into its own politically. The genius of true Protestantism has always been "civil and religious liberty for all". This has been the foundation in every country in which the Reformed Faith has dominated the landscape.
